Macbeth': A spooky and very faithful adaptation of Joel Coen for Apple TV + leaks into cutting-edge horror brand A24

 Director Joel Coen works for the first time alone on ' Macbeth ' (The Tragedy of Macbeth, 2021), an adaptation of Shakespeare's play with a fantastic lens and an almost surreal approach , drawing inspiration from other adaptations of the play while creating a his own version that bears his mark on each frame, connecting with his traditional vision of the characters doomed to doom that his filmography has shown.


Perhaps for this reason, Coen's return to the black and white format has to do with the noir sensibility of the story: dark plans, betrayals and the decisions that lead to calamity that have marked the destinies of his characters since his first film and that this evokes occasion, not coincidentally, to the conscious chiaroscuro ' the man who was never there ' (the man who was not there, 2001) just when met 20 years after its premiere, which already appeared Frances McDormand.

Terror in Macbeth Adaptations

'MacBeth' has seen many film versions, one of them recent and with an expansive production that correctly transferred the work to the current market landscape, for this reason it is striking that only five years later Apple and A24 re-represent the text. It is a work that has notably been translated into film, beginning with the version by Orson Welles in 1948 , who used a series B budget to turn it into a practically expressionist gothic horror noir . Simple and theatrical sets, which conveyed the same kind of sensibility as works like ' Häxan ' (1922) or Murnau's ' Faust ' (1926).

At last alone at home': a well-intentioned sequel for Disney + that pales before the mythical original film with Macaulay Culkin

 Not long ago I told you that 'Ghostbusters: Beyond' was an exercise in nostalgia that seemed designed not to upset anyone . An understandable movement after the hatred generated in a certain sector of the public by 'Ghostbusters' , but also worrying because it opens the door to more sequels or somewhat aseptic reboots and with little to contribute, just what has happened in the case of ' Por sin solo at home ' . Sixth installment of the franchise started by the mythical Christmas movie starring Macaulay Culkin , 'At last alone at home' is one of the launches for the celebration of Disney + Day. I confess that I did not have much hope for it, since replicating the charm of the original film seemed like an impossible mission to me, and it has been. At least it's not a copy, either and has an unmistakable well-intentioned spirit, but there is little to scratch beyond that. Little to offer es, the premise of the film could not sound more familiar with a

Movie premieres: musicals, scientific satires and pandemic terrors arrive to compete in a box office crowned by Disney and the Ghostbusters

 The countdown begins! We only have four rounds of billboard premieres - with their respective Christmas bombings - to finalize the 2021 film course, but before the storm, a relative calm arrives before the blockbusters begin to rampage. As you already know, before getting into the news for this Friday the 10th , we are going to take a look at a box office that improved compared to the last weekend in November, but which is not to rave about. For the second consecutive weekend, 'Encanto' once again crowned the Top 5 with the most viewed, falling 29% and making a total - rounded - of 1 million euros , being tied with a 'Ghostbusters: Beyond' which debuted with a identical sum; which seems a bit disappointing considering the potential of the franchise and the broad —perhaps too — target to which it is directed. Well below a million we find 'La casa Gucci' , with 0.54 million euros in its second weekend; to 'Way Down' , which holds the guy in fourth place w
