Review of Scotland, PA (2001) by Lauren W — 24 Apr 2009
A rewatch with my English class as a pairing with Macbeth. While I enjoy Scotland, PA greatly, there's no denying that it works better as a companion piece to the play than on its own. As the play winds on, the movie feels as though it's forcing itself to follow the story rather than organically doing so, and some of the late act maneuvers (especially those involving Banco) feel more required than necessary.
Still, the humor really works, and as a teaching tool, it's a marvelous way to get students into the play from another direction.
