TWO SETS of Film Questions for Polanski's MACBETH Movie. Google Docs. NO PREP!
I don't think I'm alone as an English teacher in saying that Polanski's Macbeth is STILL the best version out there for showing students as they're reading the text.

Also, it follows the book quite well. Students do enjoy the gore especially (look f
