Product Description

 
Based on Shakespeare's TITUS ANDRONICUS (one of the Bard's lesser-known and most gruesome works), director Taymor (Broadway's THE LION KING) brings this adaptation to life with dazzling imagery and haunting immediacy. Titus (Hopkins) is a victorious Roman general who makes two mistakes: supporting the wily Saturninus (Cumming) as the new Emperor, and wronging Tamora, Queen of the Goths (Lange), by killing her eldest son. Murder follows murder as the tides of fate change, as Tamora is aided by her two reckless sons and her Moor lover, Aaron (Lennix). The body count is raised higher and higher until Titus finally holds a very special dinner banquet. Taymor's bold visual sense verges on absurdity, but her sense of morality, as well as powerful acting by Hopkins and company, combine to tell a powerful, violent tale.

Rampant Amputeeism and Unmotivated Villainy Are Just the Beginning

Date of Review:  Apr 24, 2001
The Bottom Line: To skip Titus is to turn your back on a director who deserves your attention--and who may cut your arms off when you're not looking.
Review: Directors (both theatrical and cinematic) are reluctant to give us 'straight' versions of Shakespeare. They seem to assume that we must have seen Hamlet or Othello dozens of times already and that we can't possibly be interested in seeing them yet...

Pros
Possibly the cleverest cinematic...
Cons
'Clever' doesn't necessarily mean...
 

Anthony Hopkins and Jessica Lange Brush Up Their Shakespeare

Date of Review:  Mar 27, 2001
The Bottom Line: This is a dizzy, exciting blend of film and theater--your eyes will pop, your brain will simmer, your stomach will turn...but don't worry--it's Shakespeare, it's good for you!
Review: By the end of the film, if you find yourself surrounded by bodies oozing blood and someone is staring into the camera, reciting poetry about ?funeral rites? and ?mourning weeds,? then you can bet you?re in Shakespeare territory.

Stupidus Maximus - Bad Shakespeare? You Bet!

Date of Review:  Oct 5, 2000
Review: I have never been what could be called a Shakespearean scholar. While I do believe that Romeo and Juliet is the greatest tragedy ever written, and that Hamlet is quite possibly the greatest play, period, I'm not exactly a worshipper at the Bard's...
