- Everyone's talking about this representation of the Three witches by Kathryn Hunter - and so should you! Terrific does not begin to cover it! Amazing stuff from Brother J.Coen.
Kathryn Hunter was amazing. Her representation of the three witches was truly creepy and supernatural.
Beach balls at the bull rides! Someone just mopped and waxed the theater floors again!
She makes me want to crawl out over the backs of the seats biting me toenail. Oh.
I agree - and her facial transitioning between each sisters’ ‘personality’ isn’t instantly abrupt but it takes a second or two. It’s quite convincing.
@@fletcherhamilton3177 Deborah Coen would have had big "MacBeth' posters all over McDonalds where you could get a Sailor's Toe served in an apple pie box. Oh, but heck no. Brothers did it.
Preternatural, strictly speaking, but I agree that Hunter's performance was superlative.
It’s a presentation not a representation.
The idea of having one performer represent a triad of power is not new but the way it is represented and acted here is SO GOOD. The shot with one witch and two reflections turning into tree witches was perfection ❤
She is the perfect package- a contortionist AND a brilliant actress. Pity she didnt get best supporting actress.
She deserves every award possible.
How about the Tin Bum of Rangoon?
American Architecture Awards
she will kill awards yet get none
Agree
Except for the part where you might want to consider teaching your actors to SPEAK CLEARLY. It is Shakespeare. THE WORDS MUST BE AUDIBLE, DISTINCT, DECIPHERABLE.
Croaking and character do not excuse mumbling.
Every so often (ok, very rarely), you get something that pops up and that actually leaves you speechless and wondering why you didn't discover it earlier..... I had to learn Macbeth 43 years ago but this is quite an interpretation.
Appearance vs Reality
Me too. School had some positives didn't it?
🇬🇧
And me! I can still bore people by quoting chunks of it!
@David Jones *Especially …decades ago. 🤫
Her reflection(s) in the pool. Gosh the detailing in this movie is beyond!
So simple and yet mindblowing.
@@Theomite Exactly! 👌🏾
Never have I been more astonished by a performance yet FRIGTHNENED at the same time, not only did it gave me goosebumps but also made me wonder what other works has she participated on to see more of her.
she has a long and wildly prolific stage career -- not sure how much of a geek you are, but she also has a supporting role in the new star wars show, andor, where she plays the brutally overbearing mother of a wannabe fascist son to INCREDIBLE effect. every time she's offscreen i'm wondering when i'll see her again and how deep she'll dig her claws in next time.
@@MoarPretzels4Boiz she will be in next movie of Yorgos Lanthimos and the debut of Robert Eggers brothers. She is incredible.
@@igorsilva3657 NO WAY!!! i loved the lobster and killing of a sacred deer, and if robert’s siblings are anywhere near as talented (the lighthouse is an all time fav of mine) then this is a match made in heaven
@@igorsilva3657 Robert Eggers' brother?
Andor as a show had absolutely blew my mind, but the fact this treasure of an actress is part of it just fills me with great joy :) @@MoarPretzels4Boiz
I've seen every version of Macbeth known to humankind. WTF did I just watch? THIS is what genius looks like. ... That's what I just watched. Tell your friends about this, let them be amazed as well.
The Roman Polanski version still has the edge for me.
sadly most friends dont watch such stuff
@@BLTKellysthe Roman Polanski witches looked so bad 😭
Oh my god! William Shakespeare... inspiring the divine gift of acting for 400 plus years...
Normally, I always loved watching different versions of Macbeth to see the Witch scenes. But Kathryn's depiction of the "witches" was so genuinely creepy and unnerving that it's awesome. Plus the use of mixing in crow-like traits in the acting was great.
Yea that was Genius
Nice to see Hollywood catching up with Kathryn Hunter (thirty years after the rest of us.); I've just seen her at the Almeida theatre in London in The Chairs. Two hours of genius! She was amazing as King Lear. Richard III and Timon of Athens and countless other stage roles over the last three decades. She is one of the reasons I go to the theatre.
I love her so much. You are right about her Lear presentation, too. She is simply amazing.
Who asked lmao
I hope someone has all this on video, it would be an absolute shame not to record it.
I'm off to the Globe on Saturday to see her play King Lear. Can't wait!
@@stephaniestj5237 Hope you enjoyed Lear at the Globe. I saw it on Friday just gone. It was the first time I'd seen Hunter in action. She was staggering, so much so that I'll be off to see her again ASAP. What a great actress she is.
There's a warmth to Denzel's portrayal of Macbeth, even when he's being despicable. When he kills in cold blood, it's feels more like he's "putting to rest".
How the hell this performance was ignored yesterday in Supporting actress category?
This scene should've been a lock
This year is so competitive but she deserved an nomination
Because it was good but not in a way that you can make political points by referencing. The Academy has always overlooked quality for brownie points.
I thought it might've been from the length of her appearance.
@@deathincarnate2822 true but Beatrice Straight won for 5 minutes of screen time in Network
It's hard to make Denzel appear to be just a supporting actor but this witch uses genuine sorcery to do exactly that in this scene. Will look forward to this rendition.
Only other time I can think of it happening is Mickey rourke in man on fire (deleted scene)
The Three Witches as one possessed with three is a brilliant take. And that's not the half of it. Brava.
The cawing, the jiggle of the hand like it's a wing, that little crow's walk towards the cape... lovely stuff
Brilliant and inspired. Just when we thought we'd seen every Shakespeare re-imagining. This one will stand the test of time.
Her performance gave me chills down my spine in the best of ways. Mesmerizing and masterful. Queen 👸🏻 🙌🏻 She deserves all the accolades!
I was blown away by the entire movie, but Kathryn Hunter's three witches almost sent me scrambling over my theater seat to hide behind it.
Such a powerful play... I have seen a few versions and one shivers with the darkness, imminent tragedy lingering at every moment.. and the witches..oh the witches... creatures of the truth and deceiving in delivering it... Shakespeare how great you are
I have a few quips here and there, but I absolutely loved this version of Macbeth overall. Kathryn Hunter as the three witches gave me chills, and so much beautiful cinematography throughout.
Quibbles
That was utterly fabulous; I've never seen this production; what an incredible interpretation of the witches, the acting and portrayal being spellbinding.
I must go and buy this.
🏴 🇬🇧
Heh, "spellbinding" how appropriate for whiches
"spellbinding"...GOOD one!
“The earth hath bubbles as the water hath, and these are of them..”
is brilliantly interpreted and delivered.
Jesus, it's like a perfect marriage of Dreyer and Fellini and Bergman. A lost 20th Century masterpiece virtually.
and Tarkovsky
Now THAT is a compliment of the highest order.
Best supporting performance of the year.. NO DOUBT!! Sometimes idk know if the ppl (so called critics) even consider art when they vote, it’s ridiculous that she hasn’t been nominated for any major award!!
AGREE
She didn’t have enough screen time
@@kerwynwilliams it can't be the reason, Beatrice Straight (for Network) n Judi Dench (for Shakespeare In Love) both got an Oscar for an almost 5 mins roles, n if we expand the search we can find winners in different major awards with surprisingly even less screen time.
Most of the nominations for a screen actors award is pure politics.
@@LavenderHazelwood Fact!
In the grand tradition. I never had a student who could resist MacBeth, and there were some who rejected every other thing before them. This makes me want to do it again.
@@terrymurphy2032 Hi, Terry. Yeah (said with a grin) I'm too calm to act so teaching was the go-to. MacBeth, MacBeth, MacBeth ...
She was Cleopatra's lady in waiting in HBO's _Rome._
She's fantastic.
A truly extraordinary performance. Memorable and brilliant in all respects.
With those movements, that body, and that voice I would have bet my life this was Andy Serkis, Mr. Gollum. This actress is from another planet. Amazing
She’s also in Poor Things! Her voice is so distinct
This whole thing is art i love the performances and cinematography.
There’s a layer of modernity by showing the witches appear this way, hyper realism. A lot of soldiers at war would see a mirage after walking a desert battle field so this would make sense. Plus, Denzel
Macbeths pupils are absolutely dilated, crazy.
Katheryn Hunter is a morbid caricature of life in the flesh. She’s amazing, I feel the dedication here. Master Class of acting from the whole cast.
That was the most enthralling performance I’ve ever seen. Pure brilliance. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
gad what a performance! Kathryn Hunter steals the scene with her disproportioned posturing and a countenance that must have taken hours to apply (she's cute as heck in reality). And that voice...a mix of Regan MacNeil and a bit of New York bag lady tossed in a rattling blender,. Oscar, the envelope please!
Yea it’s a breath of fresh air
That was really superb. Mesmerising cinema. Can't wait to see it in full.
That was chilling. I haven’t yet watched the movie, but this clip certainly made me realize I should
I am ashamed to say this is my first experience with Kathryn Hunter but this performance left me speechless and awestruck. I am truly a new fan and will be looking into her other works.
Go watch three billboards outside ebbing missouri. You'll get to know Kathrynn and her grest acting!
@@StijnFaroKathryn Hunter isn't in Three Billboards?? Are you confusing her with Frances McDormand?
@@AlasdairGR you are totally right, i have! Oh wow how dumb of me!
It was great. I loved loved loved the set design. I could totally focus on the text which came alive, jumped from the screen. The witch woman seer was terrifying. Her voice resembled Mercedes’ McCambridge’s from The Exorcist, the voice of Satan. The murders wracking up to an entire family! Fiendish. The end: a murder of Black crows filling the White screen - oh my. Stunning. “ Peace, the charms wound up.”
I was on the fence about seeing this but this clip has changed my mind. I will watch this with the bow-legged MacBeth.
I was blessed to see this in theaters.. such a great adaptation. I was blown away. This is such a suspenseful scene
in another world, she would be nominated for an Oscar for Best Supporting Actress
In a better world.
She WASNT???
@@IAmThankfulToday uhm.....there have been multiple supporting nominees from 1 scene. Maybe not lately but there IS a small list.
Absolutely brilliant. Inspired. Never have seen anything like it.
She’s so cute when she happily yells out “Nine!” Every word from her in this fills me with delight
Her split personality and memory lapse is reminiscent of Gollum
Over all, I was disappointed with this version of the play. Shocked to find that I didn't care much for Washington or McDormand but this film contains *the single best* interpretation of the witches I have ever encountered in the nearly 40 years of seeing/hearing this story! Thanks to Mr. Coen and Ms. Hunter for remembering this story is supposed to be scary!
Having this been the first time I've ever encountered the play "Macbeth" I can say, without a doubt, this scene has made me want to watch the full version.
Not only was the witches interpretation captivating but it was also eerie which left me wanting to know more about them.
There isn't much more about them
How did she do those contortions? And was she really that thin, or a trick of the camera? This was a really creepy, but good interpretation of Macbeth.
She’s double jointed, no effects here. She’s amazing. It can be hard to find performances of her online but they’re worth digging around for. She often uses her physicality in her roles to great effect
Thank you to all the cinephiles making well-observed posts here.
My soul!!! That is intensely beautiful!
You Coens, (although in this case, it seems but one of you,) leave some talent and vision for the rest of us, huh? (Grumble, grumble.)
Kathryn Hunter delivers the best performance in this entire film.
Totally agree! Kathryn Hunter was amazing!!
Age on camera is paramount to me when assessing characters ..this role is so well played and suited by my older comrade ....wishing hæl to our elders, our masters....who light the way ⛲⚡and how glorious to receive Denzel Washington? My respect x #Subscribed
"Sister, where thou?" ...here sister, here x
Am I the only one who thinks she would be really good if she had to do a Pazuzu voice performance from the Exorcist?
Kathryn's contortionism really adds to the scene.
It’s mesmerising
Acting at its most impressive. No props, save a cloak. Genius.
Classic. Beautiful moment, elongated, and stretched, by this miss Divine.
Goddamned fantastic work.
Bonus points for Banquo's eyebrows. Great bushy manly things they are, fit for the Thane of Lochaber.
She so beautifully captures that the witches are not human, but alien creatures of fate.
Her portrayal of the witch as crow is such a foreshadow of death
This is also Washington’s best performance I’ve seen …
Holy cow... it is rare these days to see acting and directing work in beautiful, fun harmony like the first minutes of this scene, and on film no less. Wonderful. Thanks for sharing.
The choice of using one actor to represent the 3 witches was genius, and as performed by Kathryn Hunter, the best part of this admirable film. Was lucky to see her as Richard III at the Globe - such a versatile and mesmerizing artist
Well …. That was brilliant and horrifying
Wow. Stunning line delivery and physicality.
One of the best versions I have ever seen, and definitely the best witch(es) and Lady Macbeth
This is beyond brilliant, but not just Kathryn Hunter's performance which is god like perfection, but the cinematography, the use of the environment to contribute to the atmosphere of this scene was epic utilization; the puddle, the fog, the usage of a drone to plunge us (the passive viewer) into this scene, and then hoist us out of it: this is an inspired dream; it will never become a distant memory, but will always be kept alive by its greatness; by the depth of its impact. Shakespeare would be proud.
My grateful thanks to all that were involved in this glorious production - you made history.
That was a phenomenal performance by Kathryn Hunter.
Glad to see people are still making films in this day. As opposed to "movies".
What a pretentious statement. I actually get what you're saying and agree generally but people like you make film lovers look so bad. Maybe say "nice to see such creative filmmaking can still be found in modern cinema" instead of being elitist snob. It's so cringey
What impressed me the most was Kathryn's contortionism. No way I would watch this part at midnight :p
My God I had to stop the film to read more about this scores right away. Simply unbelievable
Great acting by Kathryn Hunter and props to the sound designer.
Craig Berkey?
Wow! What superb craftsmanship. The design, the direction, Kathryn Hunter's acting.
This is the best adaptation of the 3 Sisters I've ever seen! William would be proud!
Most brilliant interpretation I've ever seen.
How Kathryn Hunter never got a Best Supporting Actress Oscar nomination for this is beyond me.
I remember seeing this in the theatres twice…what an amazing movie to see.
A truly inspired performance and direction by Mr. Coen. Easily the most affecting witches scene out of all the adaptations I've seen.
I dunno much about theatre, or Shakespeare, and I didn't grok half of waht they said here, but this was stunning, whatever it was. Ms Hunter is eye popping.
unforgettable performance. Kathryn is brilliant.
MacBeth is my favorite play. This is a strange and compelling version. Denzel Washington is Amazing.
This is quite possibly one of the single greatest scenes in modern cinema. Absolutely eye catching and just down right awesome!
Am a big fan of Cohn Bros,but thought "Eh",when saw the adds for this film. But now,wow. Can't wait to see it. Ty.
I have seen many many performances of Macbeth. This is undoubtedly the best production I’ve ever seen. Every aspect of it is flawless. Bravo!
I wish I could understand. But visually it's perfect.
I always thought Macbeth's first interaction demonstrated (not sealed as in fate but indicated as in choice) how much desire for power resided in him. His friend addresses the witches with caution and some respect to their purported powers but is incredulous. He is making something of a joke of them, asking which seed would grow; of all things one could wish to know of the future that is a pretty minor one. But Macbeth instantly jumps to them telling the truth, albeit cryptically, and so proves the tragedy from the inception: it will be his decision to fall as he does.
This creeped me out so much in the cinema
The eyes, the way she contorts, the voice and then the fucking reflections of the other two witches
Great acting
Best performance of the Witches I've ever seen. Easily
Wow. That was insane! Loved how this was done!!!!!!
this would have to be the most amazing portrayal of the witches EVER.......I can't stop watching it........
Wow, how creepy was that!
Just brilliant acting of an amazing scene creating stunning images
I remember vividly Kathryn Hunter playing the Dursley's neighbor in "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix", as this dowdy and bird-like little old lady, she was marvelous. But here we see the full force of veritable genius in this role. It is jaw-droppingly magnificent, mystical, archetypal.
This is the most influential thing I’ve seen on social media.
She is Puck in Julie Taymor's Midsummer Night's Dream and she is phenomenal! just mind-blowing! It is a brilliant production, original, fresh, but Hunter still outshines everyone.
Oh, I so want to see that!
Wow, when scrolling down my home feed I thought for a second it was a picture of the Vader triplets!
I loved this movie!!! I can't wait to rewatch it!
Amazing work. It reminds me of Gagool, the witch from "King Solomon's Mines" novel
She deserves an Oscar.
I see alot of visual inspiration from the low budgeted Orson Welles Macbeth.
This is disturbingly brilliant! I’m no movie buff, but this is one of the most effective, affected movie scenes I’ve ever seen.
best sound quality and delivery .. of all
I love Denzel and the Coen brothers, but I don't know if my GED and I can keepeth up with this one.
the best character of the movie. reminds me of Fellini's movies and characters
Its was clear as glass that she and Alex stood out so strongly due to their theatre background. Honesty for me, both of them were the stand out performances of that film. Unfortunately, I cant say the same for the leads, esp the king. Terribly miscaste.
One of my favorite depictions of a witch
Not only is Kathryn Hunter amazing, she's American, born in NYC. You wouldn't know it from her voice, but she's RADA trained. I don't know how much of her movements were CGI or real but those arm gestures will haunt your dreams.
It is all her. No CGI.
She was born in the US but she’s British
She's also Greek
