This film is based on Shakespeare’s play of the same name and brought forward into modern times, while remaining true to language of Shakespearean times. The citizens of Rome are hungry. Coriolanus, the hero of Rome, a great soldier and a man of inflexible self-belief despises the people. His extreme views ignite a mass riot. Rome is bloody. Manipulated and out-maneuvered by politicians and even his own mother Volumnia. Coriolanus is banished from Rome. He offers his life or his services to his sworn enemy Tullus Aufidius. Rated R
Screened in partnership with Sigma Tau Delta student group.
