Richard III Summary Shakespeare's Immortal Tale Of Ambition, Lust And Murderous Treachery Is Brilliantly Updated And Brought To Life In This Riveting, 20th-century Masterpiece. Boasting Breathtaking Performances, Unforgettable Imagery And Two OscarÂ(r) Nominations*, This Astounding Wartime Spectacle Is Mesmerizing...it Will Rivet You And Shock You (jeffrey Lyons, 'sneak Previews ). In 1930s Britain, A Savage, Civil War Between Two Royal Families Has Just Concluded. But Even As The Newly Installed King Edward (john Wood) Takes The Reins Of Power, His Ruthless, Younger Brother Richard (ian Mckellen) Sets In Motion A Monstrous Scheme To Claim The Crown For Himself. Enlisting The Aid Of Equally Duplicitous Allies In The Court, Richard Embarks On A Merciless, Single-minded Campaign Of Betrayal, Seduction And Cold-blooded Murder To Achieve The Goal That Has Obsessed Him All Of His Tortured Life: To Beking...at Any Price. *1995: Costume Design, Art Direction

This film adaptation of a critically acclaimed stage production of Shakespeare's historical drama stars Ian McKellen in the title role. The setting is a comic-book vision of 1930s London: part art deco, part Third Reich, part industrial-age rust and rot. The play's force is turned into a synthetic high by art directors and storyboard sketchers, all of whom have a field day condensing the material into disposable pop imagery. This is a fun film, more than anything, so infatuated with its own monstrous stitchery that even the most awkward casting (Annette Bening and Robert Downey Jr.) seems a part of the ridiculous design. McKellen is the best thing about the movie, his mesmerizing portrayal of freakish despotism and poisoned desire a thing to behold. Directed by Richard Loncraine (Bellman and True). --Tom Keogh
