Rampant Amputeeism and Unmotivated Villainy Are Just the Beginning

Date of Review:  Apr 24, 2001
The Bottom Line: To skip Titus is to turn your back on a director who deserves your attention--and who may cut your arms off when you're not looking.
Review: Directors (both theatrical and cinematic) are reluctant to give us 'straight' versions of Shakespeare. They seem to assume that we must have seen Hamlet or Othello dozens of times already and that we can't possibly be interested in seeing them yet...

Anthony Hopkins and Jessica Lange Brush Up Their Shakespeare

Date of Review:  Mar 27, 2001
The Bottom Line: This is a dizzy, exciting blend of film and theater--your eyes will pop, your brain will simmer, your stomach will turn...but don't worry--it's Shakespeare, it's good for you!
Review: By the end of the film, if you find yourself surrounded by bodies oozing blood and someone is staring into the camera, reciting poetry about ?funeral rites? and ?mourning weeds,? then you can bet you?re in Shakespeare territory.

Stupidus Maximus - Bad Shakespeare? You Bet!

Date of Review:  Oct 5, 2000
Review: I have never been what could be called a Shakespearean scholar. While I do believe that Romeo and Juliet is the greatest tragedy ever written, and that Hamlet is quite possibly the greatest play, period, I'm not exactly a worshipper at the Bard's...

Titus - Gladiator meets David Lynch

Date of Review:  Aug 21, 2000
Review: David Lych did not direct this. It was Julie Taymor who created this wierd vision of Shakespeare's Titus Andronicus.

A strange yet hypnotic visual experience, more play than movie, which is apropriate considering the director had directed...

"If one good deed in all my life I did"....

Date of Review:  Sep 19, 2001
The Bottom Line: This movie is not for everyone. But if you have a love of Shakespeare, and can stomach the violence ,don't miss it. It is visually stunning.
Review: "If one good deed in all my life I did, I do repent it from my very soul".
Harsh words, indeed.

Julie Taymor's 1999 film version of the Shakespearian play she had directed off-broadway,"Titus Andronicus" is a stunning performance of...

Vengeance Is Mine

Date of Review:  Apr 27, 2001
The Bottom Line: Brilliant theatrical adaptation of one of Shakespeare's lesser known plays with an incredible visual sense.
Review: Norman seems to be recovering from his escapades of the other day. (I have double locked the cabinets containing the liquor and the household cleaning products just to make sure) and all has been quiet on the set of 'Fillies'. The only real incident...

Titus: Shakespeare written for the big screen

Date of Review:  Sep 2, 2000
Review: Titus Andronicus is considered Shakespeare?s worst play by many Shakespearean experts. Maybe that?s because Shakespeare wrote a screenplay, not something for a single stage.

Titus is a massive tale of revenge, family, honor, betrayal, and...

Revenge is a Dish Best Served Bold

Date of Review:  Aug 13, 2000
Review: Soldiers bedecked in Roman fighting garb, blue warpaint icing their faces. Marching. Drumming. And then, the motorcycles.

As Titus composer Elliot Goldenthal points out in a remarkable documentary that supplements the film on DVD, the...

Shakespeare, not for the squeamish.

Date of Review:  Feb 3, 2004
The Bottom Line: If Titus Andronicus were here, he would disembowel the Bottom Line and feed it its own viscera.
Review: Plot Details: Because plenty of people have never even heard of Titus Andronicus, I'm going to treat it like a new work and avoid spoilers wherever possible. This review reveals no plot points from the film, but covers the thematic content in some...

TITUS: Life is Dreadful!

Date of Review:  Aug 26, 2000
The Bottom Line: TITUS: An imaginative interpretation of one of Shakespeare's least known plays, but some of its many innovations don't work, and some of its scenes will revolt even strong stomachs.
Review: Looking over Epinions on TITUS (1999), I was surprised that a solid majority liked it. Hot Broadway Director (The Lion King) Julie Taymor's debut film of Shakespeare's earliest known, least produced play, Titus Andronicus (1593), is a harlequin...
