Members JKane Posted February 9, 2012 Members Posted February 9, 2012 Went to a screening recently, nothing makes you feel quite as under educated as going unawares into a movie set in modern times but *entirely* in Shakespearean dialect. Still, Coriolanus grew on me, and the portrayals of the public and the politicians who cynically pander to their worst instincts has quite a few parallels. And as always when exposed to Shakespeare, I eventually enjoy it and get the feeling that a little more effort and familiarity will bring it much further into grasp... then I usually set it down for 10+ years... All in all a pretty good movie for a work I don't even remember having heard of before. (Yep, American education!) Quote
Members JKane Posted February 9, 2012 Author Members Posted February 9, 2012 Apparently Christopher Walken has also played the part! That would be interesting! Quote
