Storyline
The citizens of Rome are hungry. Coriolanus, the hero of Rome, a great soldier and a man of inflexible self-belief despises the people. His extreme views ignite a mass riot. Rome is bloody. Manipulated and out-maneuvered by politicians and even his own mother Volumnia, Coriolanus is banished from Rome. He offers his life or his services to his sworn enemy Tullus Aufidius.
Reviews
And it is tough, not because it brutal and/or violent (it is that too). But because it uses Shakespearean English in modern times. While it has been done before, it is definitely not something for everyone. It won't appeal to people who are looking for a quick snack. A movie they can just pop in (their player), watch and get out of the player/local cinema, after watching it.
You really have to follow what people are saying. This of course means, while it does appall some, it also appeals to others. Myself I wouldn't count me in either of those leagues. I did find the premise interesting and I though Fiennes did a fine job directing (it looks really good). I still didn't feel a great impact. The actors were phenomenal too btw.
Modern Shakespeare war ... is that your cup of tea?
Enjoy Coriolanus
