It's a pity In the Flesh can' be shown to schoolchildren, because it just might inspire a new generation to fall in love with Shakespeare. It's a futuristic Macbeth with sex -- lushly filmed in Budapest, beautifully staged and costumed, and well acted. The sex isn't bad, either. Mike Horner plays that famous pawn of fate, Macbeth, and Kylie Ireland is his ambitious wife in this excellently moody and atmospheric update of the Elizabethan favorite.

A tasty-looking Zenza Raggi as Macduff shows us what Scots keep under their kilts before planting what he keeps under his firmly in Mina's pussy; Valentino (as Banquo) laughs his ghostly, clown-white head off at dinner (looking a wee bit more like The Crow than is probably good for copyrights); and Ireland masturbates inexplicably in this superhot Euro-American production. It's a happy marriage of mind and genitals and a welcome addition to any brainy porn fan's highbrow smut collection.

Screw Cliff's Notes. College lit majors have a whole new way to study now, thanks to In the Flesh!
