Story
In rural England during the mid-19th century, Katherine (Florence Pugh), a young woman trapped in a loveless marriage to an older man and living under the tyranny of his family, finds herself drawn into a passionate affair with Sebastian (Cosmo Jarvis), a young worker on her husband's estate. As their relationship deepens, Katherine begins to unleash a powerful force within her, leading her to take drastic measures to maintain her newfound freedom and desires.
Summary
Based loosely on the 19th-century Russian novel 'Lady Macbeth of Mtsensk' by Nikolai Leskov, this British period drama directed by William Oldroyd provides a feminist reinterpretation of the classic story. Set in Victorian England, the film explores themes of female agency, rebellion against societal norms, and the consequences of defying expectations. With its stark rural setting, 'Lady Macbeth' offers a compelling exploration of a woman's desperate struggle for independence and desire.
