Macbeth (or The Tragedy of Macbeth) is a 1971 British-American film adaptation of William Shakespeare's tragedy Macbeth. Directed by Roman Polanski, it retells the story of the Highland lord who becomes King of Scotland through treachery and murder. The film stars Jon Finch as Macbeth and Francesca Annis as Lady Macbeth.
Macbeth was made by Polanski in the aftermath of the murder of his pregnant wife, Sharon Tate, and several of his friends by members of the Manson Family at his house in Beverly Hills on the night of August 9, 1969. Following the murders, Polanski quit the film project he was working on, The Day of the Dolphin, and sank into deep psychological depression, blaming himself for the tragedy. After months of grieving Tate's death, he set to adapting Shakespeare's Macbeth with the aid of British theatre critic Kenneth Tynan.

Macbeth, being crowned as King after King Duncan's death is then suffered by a horrid guilty conscience.

Students examine this scene and check Shakespeare's text to see which lines are changed or deleted for the film.
This is a sight of lady Macbeth's madness from Roman Polanski's Macbeth (1971). I do not own anything of this.
A fantastic psychedelic scene from the 1971 Roman Polanski version of Macbeth. After meeting with the witches in their lair, Macbeth drinks of their potion and sees a vision of things to come. Extremely effective use of simple sound and vision effects.
Every day that goes by
Is dead and gone
Every step along the way
Fades to grey
Donβt include me in your dreams
Iβm dead and gone
Every single moment dies
Never enough
And the point if there is one
Never enough
Is that all precious time goes by
Donβt include me in your dreams
Weβre dead and gone
Every single moment dies
Never enough
And the point if there is one
Never enough
Is that all precious time goes by
Never enough
You will wake up one day
Never enough
