Lady Macbeth’s greatest strength is striking and painterly cinematography, both inside the mansion and out in the wilds, and there are a few particularly beautifully composed and symmetrical shots. Everything about LADY MACBETH serves the deliberateness and intent of not only Katherine, but the demands and rituals imposed upon her by her husband Alexander. And it doesn’t help that, with the exception of the black servant Anna (Naomi Ackie), none of the characters is sympathetic. Lawrence/Thomas Hardy sort of way, but after reaching a plateau it becomes tedious. What follows is intense, stark and very occasionally gripping in a D.H.

The story has been transposed to north-eastern England, but it’s still set in the 19th century, with the prevalent oppression inducing a feeling of what might be called anti-nostalgia in the viewer. Geography aside it’s a fairly faithful version, but it’s not a very memorable one. One of the strongest British debuts in a while, William Oldroyds searing, low-budget drama is sure to establish him as a film director to watch and will. First things first: this Lady Macbeth is not the scheming Scotswoman immortalised by Shakespeare, but the wily heroine of a mid-19th century Russian novel. This film is based on the 1865 Russian novella Lady Macbeth Of Mtsensk District by Nikolai Leskov. In 19th-century rural England, a young bride who has been sold into a loveless marriage embarks on a passionate affair with a worker on her estate.
