funnily enough welles best film so far.
the sets kinda blend together, especially with the film being in black and white but the dialogue, performances and it just being a really good telling of the original story.

How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
Orson Welles' stark, shadowy adaptation channels Shakespeare's tragedy into a claustrophobic descent into madness and ruin. It's a brutal study of unchecked ambition that feels contemporary despite its 11th-century setting.
