The footage from this modern adaptation of William Shakespeare's tragedy shows contemporary military battle scenes and fatigues to update the tale. This war story follows a banished hero – a soldier with extreme views that incite riots and who has a sworn enemy set to take his revenge. Fiennes's costars include Gerard Butler (Law Abiding Citizen), Brian Cox (Bourne Supremacy), Jessica Chastain (The Tree of Life) and Vanessa Redgrave as his mother. Out-maneuvered by politicians and his mother, Coriolanus offers his services to his sworn enemy Tullus Aufidius (Butler). In a series of twists and turns, the story follows his march into Rome, his resolve for revenge and his betrayal. The film was screened at the Berlin Film Festival and has received strong reviews. It will play at the Toronto Film Festival before opening. Coriolanus opens in Russia on December 1, North America on December 2, and the UK on January 20.

On the eve of the festival Tuesday, American pop icon Prince entertained a crowd of 40,000 that included British actor Jeremy Irons, who is shooting a TV series in Hungary, Sziget press officer Csaba Marinka said. Further big names to perform on the festival's six main stages are Australian electronic music duo Empire of the Sun, British pop singer Kate Nash, French ensemble the Gothan Project and Sziget regulars The Prodigy. The festival, with a special dedicated stage for Central European performers this year, also features minority acts including a Roma tent and the gay-friendly Magic Mirror tent. Sziget ("island" in Hungarian) takes its name from its location, a 79-hectare island on the Danube just north of downtown Budapest. Since its creation 19 years ago, it has gained increasing international fame, with now mostly Dutch, French and Italian students and backpackers paying the 54,000 forint (RM860.71) for a week-long camping pass at the festival. Last year, some 382,000 attended the festival. – AFP Full Feed Generated by Get Full RSS, sponsored by Used Car Search. |
