A stunningly sumptuous adaption of Shakespeare's's play sees the revered general Titus Andronicus at odds with his corrupt new emperor and in particular the queen, a former Goth prisoner of Titus, and a woman driven by the desire for revenge. A powerful, full blooded interpretation, with an impressive cast, boldly imagined and brimming with passion, this is a striking addition to the Shakespeare filmography.

TITUS ANDRONICUS (BBC) (1985)
CertificationPG Our Rating
Another of the BBC's excellent portrayal's of one of the Bard's works. Having subdued the Goths, warrior Titus Andronicus returns to Rome to bury his sons, with Gothic Queen Tamora and her retinue as captives. According to Roman custom, Titus sacrifices Tamora's eldest son to the Gods; having the deciding vote, he also chooses Saturninus as Emperor. Both acts have tragic consequences.
