I saw this movie at the age of 15, as our class were studying Macbeth as part of the English Literature syllabus. The teacher decided to bring a dry dusty text to life for the class and that he certainly did. I will never forget the scene of the 3 witches (due to some witty commentary from another pupil) nor the bloodshed and graphic scenes of violence that most certainly brought the classic play to life for me. 20 years on Macbeth stays with me, not as some dry dusty text in a forgotten version of the English language. The film's excellent content stayed with me. And I left my English Literature lessons with a love for Shakespeare. I tried in vain to find a copy of this film for my own children when it was their turn (by chance) to study Macbeth for their English Literature. They left their English Lit lessons with a poor opinion of Shakespeare...I couldn't get hold of the film at the time. 20 years on I have bought the film for my own pleasure.
