Coriolanus
DVD
Format: Pre-Owned DVD
Coriolanus is a modernized adaptation of Shakespeare’s tragedy, following a proud Roman general whose contempt for the people leads to his political downfall and eventual alliance with his sworn enemy to seek revenge. The film is set in a contemporary, pseudo-Balkan city reminiscent of the Yugoslav Wars, where civil unrest and scarcity of resources fuel public anger. Rome is depicted as a city-state in turmoil, with citizens rioting over withheld grain and reduced civil liberties, while a war with the neighboring Volscians intensifies the tension.
