I enjoyed it, but 'Titus Andronicus' is a bit of a cartoony play, and I had a bad experience watching it at the R.S.C. as it was on a double bill with 'Two Gentlemen of Verona', which has little to recommend it in my opinion, other than it isn't a trilogy. I was also coming down with flu, and we had to drive back late at night through snow and on black ice, so that didn't help.

Patrick Stewart was good as 'Titus' in the stage play, but I thought Hopkins acquitted himself admirably in a role that isn't exactly sympathetic. It's all a bit Grand Guignol and shows the Elizabethan drama's early indebtedness to Senecan tragedy.

The cannibalism is always fun though. Not quite as camp as Vincent Price feeding camp theatre critic Robert Morley his pet poodles in 'Theatre of Blood' though.

Now that's a great Shakespearean film!

Another vote for Ian McKellan's Richard III. No other adaptation has moved me like that one. It is truly a film (lots of great angles, close-ups etc.) while remaining at heart the play. McKellan is brilliant throughout, you can tell he's having a great time with the role.
