Altitude Film Distribution have released the brand new UK trailer for their upcoming release Lady Macbeth. The film screened very positively at both the 2016 Toronto International Film Festival and the London Film Festival.
Rural England, 1865. Katherine (Florence Pugh) is stifled by her loveless marriage to a bitter man twice her age, and his cold, unforgiving family. When she embarks on a passionate affair with a young worker on her husband’s estate, a force is unleashed inside her so powerful that she will stop at nothing to get what she wants.
Lady Macbeth is the debut feature film from theatre director William Oldroyd.
The film is loosely based on a nineteenth century novella called Lady Macbeth of Mtsensk District by Nikolai Leskov and was later adapted as an Opera. Lady Macbeth is a tragic portrait of a beautiful, determined and merciless young woman seizing her independence in a world dominated by men.
Lady Macbeth will be released on April 28th, 2017. Watch the brooding new trailer below.
