Coriolanus
Ralph Fiennes makes his directorial debut Coriolanus, in which he stars alongside Gerard Butler, Vanessa Redgrave and Brian Cox
Fiennes takes the title role of Coriolanus, a revered Roman General at odds with the city of Rome and his fellow citizens.
Pushed by his controlling mother Volumnia (Vanessa Redgrave) to enter the Senate, he is loath to ingratiate himself with the masses whose votes he needs in order to secure a Senate seat.
When the public refuse to support him, Coriolanus’s anger prompts a riot which culminates in his expulsion from Rome.
The banished hero then allies himself with his sworn enemy Tullus Aufidius (Gerard Butler) to take his revenge on the city.
