Haunted by the memory of Walter Holderlin, a soldier he killed during World War I, French musician Paul Renard (Phillips Holmes) confesses to a priest (Frank Sheridan), who grants him absolution. Using the address on a letter he found on the dead man's body, Paul then travels to Germany to find his family.
As anti-French sentiment continues to permeate Germany, Dr. Holderlin (Lionel Barrymore) initially refuses to welcome Paul into his home, but changes his mind when his son's fiancée Elsa identifies him as the man who has been leaving flowers on Walter's grave. Rather than reveal the real connection between them, Paul tells the Holderlin family he was a friend of their son, who attended the same musical conservatory he did.
Although the hostile townspeople and local gossips disapprove, the Holderlins befriend Paul, who finds himself falling in love with Elsa (Nancy Carroll). When she shows Paul her former fiancé's bedroom, he becomes distraught and tells her the truth. She convinces him not to confess to Walter's parents, who have embraced him as their second son, and Paul agrees to forego easing his conscience and stays with his adopted family. Dr. Holderlin presents Walter's violin to Paul, who plays it while Elsa accompanies him on the piano.
The film's original title, The Man I Killed, was changed to The Fifth Commandment to avoid giving "wrong impressions in the minds of the public about the character of the story." It ultimately was released as Broken Lullaby.
科恩兄将戏剧搬进摄影棚的艺术探索了大概是，但作为电影去看那这过分文本化的对白确实拗口出戏，然而又很符合A24诡异的气质，丹泽尔和科恩嫂的演绎是绝对衬得起莎士比亚的剧本的。
对于莎翁经典的再度演绎，这一版相较于影史上较为著名的奥逊威尔斯和黑泽明的版本，亮点在于黑白摄影和极简的服化道美术，以及更加具有舞台剧质感的表演和置景，所以这一部4：3的画幅更像是看了一场舞台剧。没想到导演是科恩兄弟的哥哥，出品方是影迷的老熟人厂牌A24。
舞台剧的复古电影风格，空间感纵深感有时感觉三毛钱特效有时又感觉宏伟。情节和演员表演张力到位，看完整体感觉就是：挺妙。
丹泽尔同志操着一口地道美式英语把麦克白从英武上将到践祚登基到野心覆灭的复杂的悲剧性的心理活动诠释的如同白开水，只在最后十五分钟的末路对决中进入了状态，凭着那个拾起掉落皇冠的动作，原谅这个男主角提名。弗太后的麦克白夫人也只能说是无功无过，出场不过五分钟的女巫令人印象深刻。
美术和摄影确实是没话说，但，电影真的有必要做的这么话剧吗？麦克白值得一拍再拍吗？毫无代入感。
我就是为了摄影才看它的，黑白的层次真丰富啊。故事也没有太大的改动。
你永远也猜不到知名大导拥有无限创作空间后会选择拍什么……大科恩选择翻拍《麦克白》，如果是夙愿，那似乎能解释他风格的源头所在
但感觉没什么角度
十分惊喜！充满新意的经典改编。有一点先锋艺术的感觉。极简的风格却营造出了阴沉压抑的氛围。服装、布景、光线都很到位。
科恩重演莎翁，在多版本的《麦克白》改编中，能否排得到前列恐怕还是打个问号。但是影片在风格化和形式感上确实做得十分出彩，精美的黑白影调干净、简洁、漂亮，渐进地模糊了戏剧与电影的界限，视觉享受直接拉满。
上一次看把沙瓮剧撤下真实舞台的还是空王冠，不得不说空王冠连它十分之一都比不上。这部真的制作太优越，从节奏到画面、细节都很讲究。
莎士比亚戏剧鉴赏，无奈本人才疏学浅，最后的结局没看懂是什么意思！
剧作非常舞台化，影像风格突出，演技都在线。给一星完全是因为一千年前的苏格兰国王不可能是黑人。
固定摄影导致空间感的缺失让人感觉是在用电影拍话剧
属于颁奖季特供了，有点<第七封印>的影子，不过也就看表演、视听和导演风格，故事真的没什么意思了。
科恩兄弟掰了之后老大个人的第一部，德国表现主义的视觉构成仍然承载着黑色电影的内核。取景之逼仄，近身肉搏的高超调度，给人近在眼前的舞台感。女巫太强大，技压群芳，过目不忘。反倒是饰演麦克白夫妇的两个老戏骨自信得过了头，与沉溺于疯狂偏执之中的角色略微不合。乔尔牛逼！
论观赏性，我觉得还不如无极…就很像一群学院派的话剧咖演过很多场后，在最后一场表演的时候用最好的团队进行拍摄。
无数次把鼠标拖到视频顶部查看文件名，确认我不是在看National Theatre Live
光影大赞，戏剧和电影的完美融合，把该简化的元素都简化了，黑白的电影艺术精品。
3.光比控制极佳，对于意象性的形式辅助完全拉满。
