Movie Review: Coriolanus…not for all and sundry

 

What little you would have heard of this movie (if any) is that it is an adaptation of a Shakespearean play. What is important to note is that ‘adaptation’ here means that the dialogues are the same as the original play (all thou, thy intact) which means that if you are not well acquainted with Shakespeare and the English of the yore…you’d probably best avoid this kind of movie

If that is not a deterrent in itself, add to it the fact that this is a rather anachronistic modern day adaptation of the original play which means in place of flowing robes and laurel wreath you have soldier uniforms and military decorations which just don’t fit the kind of dialogues “By Juno, I shall wait for my lord and husband to return from the war… (hope you’ve got the picture by now)

If all this is a-okay with you (and I seriously can’t warn you further) then by all means you can proceed to the cinema hall to watch some great performances from Ralph Fiennes and the rest of the support cast. For a Shakespearean adaptation the execution is quite brilliant and I can’t really find anything wrong with how it was presented.

However the issues cited above were a big problem for me, personally.Add to it the less than thrilling climax and what you have is probably not the best way to spend a nice weekend. Unless you are a die-hard Shakespeare fan and then some.. I suggest you check out some of the other offerings this week
