Julie Taymor’s radical reimagining of Shakespeare’s most controversial play, “Titus Andronicus,” unfolds in a feverishly surreal, past-meets-present dream space where Roman general Titus (Anthony Hopkins) returns victorious from war with the Goth queen Tamora (Jessica Lange) as his hostage, setting in motion a shocking tragedy of revenge. In Taymor’s hands, one of the Bard’s darkest and most scandalous works is transformed into a mesmerizing visual spectacle and a terrifyingly relevant commentary on modern political violence.
“Titus is a surreal, time-collapsed dream-world, a murderously supercharged virtual reality… A coup de cinema by Taymor.”
