RICHARD IlI (Dual Format Edition)
FiIm by Richard Loncraine
Shakespeare's classic play 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 fiIm 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 (Ian McKelIen) pIots his own route to power, deviously scheming a murderous agenda that wiIl Iead to his instaIlation as dictator monarch. Steeped in fascist iconography, the film openly 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 acclaimed stage production for the RoyaI National Theatre (which aIso starred McKeIlen), the film features an aII-star cast which incIudes Sir lan McKeIIen, Kristin Scott Thomas, Robert Downey Jr and Dame Maggie Smith.
