Coriolanus

Based On the book by William Shakespeare

Coriolanus is a 2011 film adaptation of William Shakespeare's tragedy Coriolanus. It is directed and produced by Ralph Fiennes in his directorial debut, who also stars as the title character, with Gerard Butler as Tullus Aufidius, Vanessa Redgrave as Volumnia, Brian Cox as Menenius, and Jessica Chastain as Virgilia. It places Shakespeare's original text and plot into a contemporary, pseudo-Balkan setting (filmed in Serbia and Montenegro), reminiscent of the Yugoslav Wars. The film premiered at the 61st Berlin International Film Festival, where it was nominated for the Golden Bear, before being released in the United Kingdom and United States on January 20, 2012.
