Film: Coriolanus

Filed under: Film,History — Tags: , , — Matt @ 4:49 PM

Now this looks interesting. This is the film adaptation of Shakespeare’s play called Coriolanus, which was based on the Roman general Gaius Marcius Coriolanus. Beethoven even wrote a piece called the Coriolan Overture. Although with this film, the setting is in modern times. (they also filmed it in Serbia, and used Serbian soldiers as extras)

Now the key here is can a modern film version of this play, resonate with today’s audience? Who knows, but it will be interesting to check out. –Matt
