Titus

Adapted from the play Titus Andronicus by some minor playright named Bill Shakespeare. Titus stars Anthony Hopkins as the Roman general title character. He brings hostages back from a successful campaign, ordering the eldest son of the defeated queen sacrificed. He then turns down the emperor's crown in favor of the last ruler's eldest, venal son Saturninus. The new emperor turns on loyal Titus over a spiteful demand for Titus's daughter (whom has already been betrothed to Saturninus's far nicer brother) and plots with the Goth queen Tamora (Jessica Lange) in her quest for revenge for her slain son. The body (and body part) count is high as the feud heats up until it is finally resolved over a nice dinner.
The visuals are both stark and stunning. The general décor is a sort of modern desolation. For those of you who like watching movie adaptations of Old Bill's works, it's quite entertaining and arresting. I'll give it an A- because it just isn't quite as compelling a play as some of his others (like MacBeth or Hamlet).
