Finally got around to seeing Macbeth (2015) and loved it. There are little things like the children singing to Duncan which don't add anything to the plot, and to the best of my recollection aren't in the play, but add enormously to it. It's very particular in its sense of location: not a specific place in Scotland, so much as the atmosphere and emotional sense of place. Actually, what it reminds me most of, in that way and in terms of the quality of the cinematography, is A Field in England.

Tried an episode of Taboo but it didn't grab either of us, but tomorrow I'll have to see the new episode of Sherlocl. Obviously I wasn't wild about last week's, but I am curious about what the writers are up to and I'd like to see if it's more engaging.

Oooh, you caught my attention with the A Field in England reference -- I LOVE that film. I hadn't really been sure if I was going to try to watch the 2015 Macbeth or not, but now you have me intrigued. :D

I'm a compulsive watcher of new versions of Macbeth! I must watch the Orson Welles one again, too... and A Field in England. Just need there to be more hours in the day now...

Amen to that! :D
