Coriolanus

Ralph Fiennes directs and takes the title role in this bloody and brutal modern-dress adaptation of the Shakespeare tragedy, portraying the victorious military man urged to run for political office by his assertive mother (Vanessa Redgrave). In short order, Coriolanus discovers his gifts are for combat, not diplomacy, and suits up again in an alliance with a former enemy (Gerard Butler) for a campaign against the city that banished him. With Brian Cox, Jessica Chastain. 124 min. Widescreen (Enhanced); Soundtrack: English Dolby Digital 5.1; Subtitles: English (SDH), Spanish; "making of" featurette; audio commentary.
