Director David Wilson has released a new short film for the British Council, reinterpreting Act 1, Scene V, from Shakespeare’s Macbeth. The film begins with actress Vicky McClure as Lady Macbeth in a contemporary suburban setting, as something menacing rushes through the woods towards her. The film gathers tension until halfway through, when it breaks into an animation by Ian Miller (still narrated by Vicky) depicting a grotesque Lady Macbeth whose skin falls from her bones to convey her rotten soul.
David is a London based director, mostly known for his music videos. He worked together with, amongst ohters, Lady Gaga, David Guetta and Arctic Monkeys.
