2016 | DCP | UK | D: William Oldroyd

Alone on a remote English farm, after her forced marriage to a disinterested man twice her age, Katherine (Florence Pugh in her first lead film role) meets young worker Sebastian (Cosmo Jarvis) and is forced to confront her desires. Based on Nikolai Leskov’s novel Lady Macbeth of Mtsensk, this period drama offers a piercing look at the confines of gender roles and the potency of passion.

Lady Macbeth crackles with seductive tension thanks to William Oldroyd’s direction, alongside outstanding performances and excellent production – including Ari Wegner’s stunning cinematography.

‘Superbly acted and executed, this spare piece of storytelling marks an assertive feature debut for theatre and opera director William Oldroyd’ – Screen Daily

Available as part of a discounted four-film Spotlight on Ari Wegner Pass along with Stray (Dustin Feneley, 2018), Zola (Janicza Bravo, 2020) and In Fabric (Peter Strickland, 2018). Learn more
