MakarovaFan Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 Does anyone know when Ralph Fiennes's film Coriolanus goes into wide release and will play in my theatres in New Jersey? Thanks in advance! Link to comment
dirac Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 Hi, MakarovaFan. I don't know, but I should think a little Internet browsing should produce an answer fairly quickly. You might even try Wikipedia. It's quite possible "Coriolanus" isn't intended for wide release, I'm afraid. Link to comment
MakarovaFan Posted January 13, 2012 Author Share Posted January 13, 2012 I finally found it -- Coriolanus goes wide on January 20th. Link to comment
dirac Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 Thanks for letting us know, MakarovaFan. Please write about it here when you see it - the movie will probably get to your area before mine, and I'm curious to hear about it. Link to comment

I vividly recall seeing Fiennes play Coriolanus at the Brooklyn Academy of Music in 2000. It was a ferocious, brilliant and multilayered performance. Can't wait to see him bring this very difficult play/role to the big screen in his directorial debut. Link to comment
dirac Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 Lucky you! It seems to me he's very right for this part. Link to comment
dirac Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 MakarovaFan, did you ever see it? Link to comment
cubanmiamiboy Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 Ah...Mr. Fiennes...my favorite actor...gotta see that! Link to comment
sandik Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 My partner and our son saw it, and said it was bloody but great. Link to comment
4mrdncr Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 I saw the film in NYC at the Lincoln Center Film Society's Eleanor Bunin theater February 4 (or was it the 11th?). I was v. interested to see Fiennes' et.al.'s interpretation. I've always loved the play from when I first read it many many years ago. Much later, I saw Alan Howard and the RSC's production (late '70's/early 80's) which was much less visceral and more subdued psychologically than Fiennes' version. PS. Does anyone else see the resemblance in the plot, to that of the historical Alcibiades? Same temperments and results. Link to comment

I think Plutarch got there a few centuries ago. Lucky you getting to see Howard - wonderful actor and I'd have loved to see him in the role. Link to comment
