Shakespeare Rocks

I wrote a little while ago about the gory fun to be had in Ford's 'Tis Pity She's a Whore, but now I've found something even better. Watched Julie Taymor's film Titus as part of my education yesterday. Even at his very worst this is why Shakespeare is incomparable. Forget Hanniabal Lecter, this is Anthony Hopkins really acting - brave, loyal, demented, vengeful, fearful and fearsome. You can catch it on YouTube but this really deserves as close to the full cinematic blast as you can get. At the very least turn the volume up for the opening - Titus Opening .
