LADY MACBETH Opening at the Cinema Art Theater
 
Starting on September 22nd the Rehoboth Beach Film Society’s Cinema Art Theater will present LADY MACBETH, a drama about a woman’s struggle to break free from the repressive patriarchy of her time.
 
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. William Oldroyd’s feature debut shifts Nikolai Leskov’s 1865 novel LADY MACBETH OF THE MTSENSK DISTRICT from Russia to the north east of England. The starkness of the moors perfectly mirrors the cold austerity of the manor house Katherine is confined to. When she breaks out, the world around her is shaken to its core. [2017, UK, Runtime: 1 hour, 29 minutes, Rated: R].
 
Michael Phillips of “The Chicago Tribune” lauds the film as, “an unusually sharp feature film debut and a mid-19th-century period piece both cool and vital.” Mick Lasalle of “The San Francisco Chronicle” singles out Pugh’s performance for praise: “LADY MACBETH has a lot to recommend it, but if it’s going to be remembered for one thing, it will be for launching the film career of its star, Florence Pugh.”
 
Screening times are 4:00 pm and 7:00 pm on Friday (Sept 22), 4:00 pm on Saturday and Sunday (Sept 23-24), 7:00 pm on Monday (Sept 25), 1:00 pm and 4:00 pm on Wednesday (Sept 27), and 7:00 pm on Thursday (Sept 28).
