Since tonight is movie night I had better let you know what we saw last week.

Lady MacBeth is based on an adaptation of a Russian novel, and bears no resemblance to Shakespeare’s Lady MacBeth. Although it is buried deep in the story, the young woman in question has been sold into marriage. Her life in rural England is lonely and her husband and his father are downright mean. But does that excuse the behaviour of the heroine?

Certainly not an uplifting story, but an interesting one.
