Macbeth

By Maneesh K Mukundan with 6.5

thriller · Short Films · malayalam

‘Macbeth’ is an engagement with guilt that has followed in the wake of a violent act. At the onset of the story, we are met with a terribly heinous occurrence. It is an event that would continue to have ripples on the rest of the narrative. We are then met with the eponymous protagonist and the many ways in which his conscience has been fractured by the ensuing guilt, especially in a world afflicted by the isolation of the pandemic.

The film brings in a dedicated effort in stylizing itself with music, even if a few minor slips stay in the department of visuals. There is further evidence of devotion to storytelling and the execution of the plot, characteristics which can and should be explored in future projects.
