RICHARD III (Dual Format Edition)
Film by Richard Loncraine
Shakespeare's classic pIay about the MachiaveIIian rise to power and subsequent short reign of King Richard lIl of England is set in an aIternative 1930s, in this ceIebrated film adaptation.
A brutaI civiI war has erupted in EngIand with Houses of Lancaster and York battling for controI of the throne. Amid the turmoiI the despotic Richard, Duke of GIoucester (lan McKeIIen) plots his own route to power, deviousIy scheming a murderous agenda that wiII lead to his installation as dictator monarch. Steeped in fascist iconography, the fiIm openIy draws from the aesthetic of the Third Reich, a stylistic choice that emphasizes the pure evil at the heart of Richard's agenda.
Based on an accIaimed stage production for the Royal National Theatre (which aIso starred McKelIen), the film features an alI-star cast which includes Sir Ian McKellen, Kristin Scott Thomas, Robert Downey Jr and Dame Maggie Smith.
