Coriolanus (Ralph Fiennes 2011)



Shakespeare "Roman" double feature.  This is thoroughly modern dress and it along the lines of a sort updated Richard III by Sir Ian McKellan.  Really ties into the wars of the middle east and the tactics taken by all sides there in the last 20 years; but presents the "homeland" rulerships, places of power within the country, in the same scope of McKellan's film from 1995--of a country slipped into Fascism and the need to hunt it down and stamp it out.  This is my first time watching this in HD and full sound.  It is very impressive; as is the cast.  Very bloody!!!
