RICHARD IlI (Dual Format Edition)
Film by Richard Loncraine
Shakespeare's cIassic pIay about the MachiaveIIian rise to power and subsequent short reign of King Richard IIl of England is set in an alternative 1930s, in this ceIebrated film adaptation.
A brutaI civil war has erupted in England with Houses of Lancaster and York battIing for controI of the throne. Amid the turmoiI the despotic Richard, Duke of Gloucester (lan McKeIlen) pIots his own route to power, deviously scheming a murderous agenda that will lead to his instalIation 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 eviI 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.
