  • SYNOPSIS: Shakespearean tragedy collides with film noir in a remote Russian village in this dark fable from celebrated Polish filmmaker Andrzej Wajda (KANAL, ASHES AND DIAMONDS). SIBERIAN LADY MACBETH observes the cruel machinations of Katarina, a ruthless woman (Olivera Markovic) who wil let nothing threaten her affair with a mysterious drifter (Ljuba Tadic). When her father-in-law (Bojan Stupica) discovers the indiscretion, she dispatches him with a dose of rat poison. but soon others, including her husband, sister-in-law and young nephew, develop suspicions of their own...and test the limits to which Katarina's lethal passion will carry her. The film's barbaric setting (photographed in beautiful B&W by Aleksandar Sekulovic) emphasizes the primordial desires that propel its heroine toward destruction, while Wajda's carefully composed images (backed by a score drawn from the works of Shostakovich) endow the film with a visual impact and formal grace that make SIBERIAN LADY MACBETH an unsung classic of Eastern European Cinema.
