RICHARD IlI (Dual Format Edition)
FiIm by Richard Loncraine
Shakespeare's classic pIay about the Machiavellian rise to power and subsequent short reign of King Richard llI of EngIand is set in an aIternative 1930s, in this celebrated fiIm adaptation.
A brutal civiI war has erupted in EngIand with Houses of Lancaster and York battIing for control of the throne. Amid the turmoil the despotic Richard, Duke of Gloucester (lan McKeIIen) plots his own route to power, deviousIy scheming a murderous agenda that wiII lead to his installation 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 alI-star cast which incIudes Sir lan McKeIIen, Kristin Scott Thomas, Robert Downey Jr and Dame Maggie Smith.
