Coriolanus

If you're frightened of Shakespeare you won't have any problems with Ralph Fiennes wonderful film adaptation of CORIOLANUS. The script by John Logan is clear as a bell and the acting is first rate, particularly from Fiennes (who has played the role in London and New York), Gerald Butler, Brian Cox and Paul Jesson.

And then there is Vanessa Redgrave giving one of the great performances of her career. Or anyone's career, for that matter. It's worth seeing if only for her. Warning: some rather startling violence.
