Since I consider Anthony Hopkins one of the best actors alive, I was really eager to watch this flick. It is also Julie Taymor's directing debut which made this movie even more intriguing to me. Eventually, it turned out to be one of the weirdest and least accessible Shakespeare adaptation I have ever seen and, yet, somehow, I did like it. It is always tricky when the makers decide to keep the ori... read more

William Shakespeare’s blood-soaked tragedy gets the aggressive visualization treatment in Julie Taymor’s big screen debut. To watch Titus is to discover a film that argues that the limit does not exist for what constitutes “over the top.” This doesn’t just shake the rafters, nor does it blow the roof off of the place, because there is no foundations for the film to destroy.

This film is an adaptation of the Shakespeare play "Titus Andronicus." Titus returns victorious from war, only to plant the seeds of future turmoil for himself and his family. Who says revenge is sweet?

"Absolutely love this movie, which is such a visual treat and a very underrated Anthony Hopkins performance. I owned the earlier DVD release that didn't have the best PQ, so hoping this newer version is an upgrade. Sadly this only had a limited Twilight Time Blu-ray release."

Titus

“William Shakespeare’s blood-soaked tragedy gets the aggressive visualization treatment in Julie Taymor’s big screen debut. To watch Titus is to discover a film that argues that the limit does not exist for what constitutes “over the top.” This doesn’t just shake the rafters, nor does it blow the roof off of the place, because there is no foundations for the film to destroy. Titus is a film of uncompromising beauty, sensationalism, and obnoxious pretentions, and it must be applauded for having the courage to go beyond broke into something grander. None of this is to say that Titus is an entirely effective or even coherent whole. It’s very much not, but there are moments of grand beauty that are equal to the moments of near camp or overly zealous symbolic heft. The opening o” read more
