Title: Truly intelligent direction
Review: This movie features a sterling cast and topnotch production values, but what truly stands out is Fiennes as a director. The clever use of crawls on the TV screen, banners and graffiti helped to narrow the gap between Elizabethan English and McDonald's Happy Meal English.Everything from the lighting effects to the percussive music underscored the emotion. We already knew he was a fine actor but, in Coriolanus, Fiennes showed himself to be an intelligent director dealing with one of Shakespeare's more difficult plays. I look forward to his next directorial attempt.Another standout was Brian Cox' spot on performance. Is there nothing that man cannot do?
