2. Coen(s) have always been good at finding material to film that coincides with their sensibility either directly adapted (McCarthy, Portis) or indirect (Hammet, Chandler, Cain).

3. "Morons with grandiose dreams" is one Shakespeare/Coen thematic link. But also the pathos of infertility (Raising Arizona, Man Who Wasn't There, the Macbeths being very much a post-menopausal childless couple) & demonic intervention in human affairs.

4. Finally, a Coen-esque MacBeth because it brings together both new actors with some familiar faces from Coen troupe (McDormand, Harry Melling) as well as frequent backstage collaborators (Carter Burwell, Ellen Chenoweth)

I haven’t been able to get to like it much yet. I find it lacking in any kind of emotional verisimilitude and the interpretation of the character relationships odd. The cinematic style and set design are riveting, but cold. And I still can’t figure out what he is doing with Ross.

I think he let his spouse talk him into the idea that the couple is 50 or 60-ish so she could play Lady Macbeth. But that doesn’t make much textual sense to me.
