Title: Masterpiece in contemporary medievalism
Product review: What a wonderful version of Shakespeare! As a literary scholar and patron of the arts, as well as an artist and writer, I can honestly say that this is possibly THE BEST modern rendition of Shakespeare in film format. The psychedelic and highly stylized Rome of Titus is a creative masterpiece, showcasing a gothic beauty absent from much of modern film and slightly reminiscent of Baz Lehrmann's Romeo and Juliet. Sets and costume design are so good and so striking that they alone make this a film worthy of purchase. And the script is true to the evil and brutality that characterize the bard's original play; the social commentary is also extremely pertinent as we try to balance the degeneration and moral depravity of our own modern western society with honor, ethics and morality. Extremely haunting, although slow at parts, this film is a must for anyone with a refined taste for word and image, set and setting.
