In the midst of a war between Rome and the Volsci tribe, food
rations are limited and civil liberties are suspended. Rioters are putting a
large part of the blame on Gaius Marcius Coriolanus, a Roman general with a
clear contempt for the regular class. After being called a traitor by his own
people and being exiled, Coriolanus comes back on Rome aligned with the Volsci
people.
This is a film adaptation of a Shakespeare tragedy. Honestly, while
it got good reviews, it simply was not my thing. Maybe because English is not
my first language and I did not study Shakespeare much, I was lost in the language
level. I kept saying to myself: What is he or she saying? I was alone and
annoyed myself, so my attention drifted off. The film was well done from a
visual point of view and the cast had the right intensity, but it was not
enough to make me appreciate it.
