You guys don't recognize a picture of Helen Mirren when you see it?

I did, but was unaware she was married to Taylor Hackford. Is it wrong that my dislike of him as a director has bled into my thinking he doesn't deserve Helen Mirren as a wife?

This is definitely the right vehicle for her to win her back into my favor. Titus rocks. And this cast is solid. I didn't realize til now that I've always wanted to hear Chris Cooper doing Shakespeare.
Yes, this is definitely one of the most appealing parts of this venture.Quoting Sven (view post)

I've never cared much for The Tempest. As per usual with Shakes there's a ton of superb dialogue but I've always found the narrative of the play fairly pointless.

Really, it is the quality of prose which defines a work of Shakespeare for me. His control of plot I frequently find unsatisfying, but I rarely watch for the drama. It is a good production that makes me care about the drama, ie, Titus, which is not one of his more interesting works, language-wise, but was made into an insanely artful and exciting film by Ms. Taymor.Quoting Qrazy (view post)
And I don't think its quality is attributable only to cinematic technique, just to clarify. Harry Lennix's Aaron is one of my favorite interpretations, period. The narrative execution in general was tight, intense and, while admittedly sexed and souped up, was not so "modern"ized as to be off-putting.Quoting Sven (view post)
I liked the first 3/4's of Titus well enough, hated the ending with a passion.Quoting Sven (view post)

I saw a production of the Tempest at the Stratford festival in Ontario, and I fell in love. So I'm excited to see what Taymor does with it.

I is super-excited for this. The Tempest is usually my favorite Shakespeare, so this should redeem AtU.

The Power of the Dog - 7.5
The King of Pigs - 7
