2015 Cannes Critics’ Panel Day 11: Kurzel’s “Macbeth” Avoids Tragic Fate

Date:

It was last year’s most snap worthy Cannes Market one sheet image and it pretty much secured an In Comp entry the moment Marion Cotillard signed on. The actresses’ fourth consecutive year in the Palme d’Or hopefuls (Rust and Bone, The Immigrant, Two Days, One Night), actually make that five if it is followed by It’s Only the End of the World in 2016, this latest version of Macbeth comes from an Aussie director who made the most noise in the Critics’ Week section when his Snowtown (later known as The Snowtown Murders) launched Justin Kurzel into a nice sophomore gig. While some of our critics jetted out early, here is a sampling of grades to feast on.
