Watch the Lady Macbeth teaser trailer below.
The Lady Macbeth teaser trailer has just been released by Altitude Films. The UK distributor will released the festival favourite in cinemas on April 28th 2017. Altitude have some impressive films on their upcoming slate, including Golden Globe winner Moonlight, Alone In Berlin and Jérôme Salle‘s The Odyssey.
Here’s the rundown of the plot of Lady Macbeth.
Rural England, 1865. Katherine (Florence Pugh) is stifled by her loveless marriage to a bitter man twice her age, and his cold, unforgiving family. When she embarks on a passionate affair with a young worker on her husband’s estate, a force is unleashed inside her so powerful that she will stop at nothing to get what she wants.
The film is loosely based on a nineteenth century novella called Lady Macbeth of Mtsensk District by Nikolai Leskov and was later adapted as an Opera. Lady Macbeth is a tragic portrait of a beautiful, determined and merciless young woman seizing her independence in a world dominated by men.
The film has done well on the festival circuit, including at last year’s BFI London Film Festival back in October.
William Oldroyd is directing the film from a screenplay by Alice Birch.
