Macbeth is a 1982[1] Hungarian television film adapted, edited and directed by Béla Tarr.[2] György Cserhalmi stars Macbeth while Erzsébet Kútvölgyi portrays Lady Macbeth.[2] The film is composed of only two shots: The first (before the main title) is five minutes long, the second 57 minutes long.[3]
Considered to be a watershed in the filmmaker's artistic development,[3] the film was among examples of Tarr's work screened at the Museum of Modern Art during a retrospective in October 2001.[4] It has also been screened during a retrospective at the 33rd Moscow International Film Festival.[5]
