Overview
When an old adversary threatens Rome, the city calls once more on her hero and defender: Coriolanus. But he has enemies at home too. Famine threatens the city, the citizens’ hunger swells to an appetite for change, and on returning from the field Coriolanus must confront the march of realpolitik and the voice of an angry people.
How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A staged Shakespearean tragedy about a war hero undone by his contempt for the common people and his inability to master politics. Watching it is like witnessing an inexorable collision between an immovable will and an unstoppable popular force.
