Director of Lady Macbeth
On the newest episode of SIFFcast, Jeremy chats with director William Oldroyd about his debut feature Lady Macbeth. Based not on Shakespeare, but on a classic Russian novel, this Gothic tale takes place in rural England, where a young woman (Florence Pugh) is stifled by her loveless marriage to a bitter old man. Williams shares his thoughts on balancing tone, the differences between directing for stage and screen, and how he found his leading lady.
