Titus (1999)
If you see any film this decade, see 'Titus'!
It explores human relationships in the raw. If you don't understand hatred, honour and love, this is the film that will help you learn about these difficult matters.
It is not an easy film. It is directly as Shakespeare wrote it in 'Titus Andronicus'. However, it is so brilliantly performed with such excellent sets, scenery and imagery as to be a very, very rare delight.
Feast on this spectacle of both the eye and the mind and leave both humbled, refreshed and enlivened to a better understanding of the human condtion.

Titus is a wonderful movie. You're right to bring it to our attention. Anthony Hopkins gives a stunnig performance, I agree. Maybe better that the 'Silence of the lambs'.
I think that Shakespeare is allowed to breath through this. It is magnificent and epic because no screenwriter comes between us. All there is is the making of the essence of the horror with brilliant props.
I agree with you that this is not a film for the faint-hearted. It is, however, as you say, a film about the tragedy of hatred.
I'm a great fan of Anthony Hopkins. I'm also a great fan of theatre as life, something that Shakespeare has given us.
