(T 0419 267 318)
Regarded by many as one of the greatest Shakespeare movie adaptations, its all-star cast delivers a masterclass performance. Brando towers over this riveting production of betrayal, political assassination, vengeance and the tragic consequences following such acts. Indeed: “Cry ‘Havoc’,and let slip the dogs of war.”
The film was very successful at the box office and critics acclaimed it.
“A production that smites the eye with violence and rings with the clang of metal words.”
“Excellent! Sumptuously produced, expertly directed and brilliantly acted, Julius Caesar is an artistic triumph that ranks with the best of the Shakespearean plays that have been put on film.”
Shakespeare’s immortal tale of the intricate web of political conspiracy and tensions in ancient Rome is respected in this silver screen profound exploration of ambition and honour. The film’s pacing, cinematography and set design draw the audience in as the skilled director with his cast maintain the beauty and rhythms of the Bard’s language. An ideal balance in a tale that resonates with audiences in the 21st Century.
Gumleaf Mafia Update: Sydney born Michael Pate has an important part in the cast with Melbourne’s Snub Pollard in a minor role.
