Both are very different this version excised bit of text from the middle, as a way to create a leaner, intimate illustration regarding fate and ultimate resignation of fate as well. It also serves as a way to further embolden Macbeth and Banquo's dynamic, my one problem was this version Shortchanged Macduff a little, his character while not the most fascinating feels a bit hindered by motivation in many ways ultimately, personally I preferred this version versus Kurtzel's but preferred Marion versus Mcdormand. I've not yet seen it. Visually it looks like it takes a lot from Welles' 1948 version. The boxy B&W framing and stark theatrical sets. its very Murnau-esque very much inspired by Dreyer as well as expressionism films from 1920s,

I recall comparing the Welles version to Dreyer also, here. Yes rewatching the trailer it has the shadow of German expressionism, and the austere formality of Dreyer.

Also, how typically Coen-esque is it?
I imagine he's more or less working with the original text.
