Titus: Directed by Julie Taymor. With Osheen Jones, Dario D’Ambrosi, Anthony Hopkins, Jessica Lange. Titus returns victorious from war, only to plant the seeds of future turmoil for himself and his family.

“This film demonstrates how a stage director can combine the unique atmosphere of theater with the stark realism–and fantastic effects– of film and make a beautiful, moving masterpiece. The words are Shakespeare, the staging is fabulous, the costumes and sets are remarkable and memorable. Jessica Lange and Anthony Hopkins and Alan Cummings radiate. Seeing Titus leaves one exhausted and exhilarated, believing one has seen true, gifted, timeless film making.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eTitus is one of Shakespeareu0026#39;s little-known, earlier works, and it is a violent, disturbing tragedy. The producer and director took incredible risks to bring this remarkable experience to you. I know you will be moved.”
