Synopsis

Ralph Fiennes's award-winning directorial debut is a stunning treatment of Shakespeare’s play that fully exploits parallels between the original text and the modern day. Coriolanus is a warrior and defender of Rome who disdains the citizens he must risk his life for and respects the leader of his enemies. As a reward for his victories, he is encouraged to run for office and is confronted by a greater power than military might: political manoeuvring. Ralph Fiennes is in complete control both behind and in front of the camera, making this an accessible and riveting adaptation.
