Richard III
[cert 15, 104 mins]
The film of Shakespeare's most famous villain - the conquering hero turned ruthless power-monger, who creates hell in peacetime when he sets his sights on the throne - is set in an imaginary England of the 1930s, embracing all the richness of style and music of the period, as well as the political overtones of rising tyranny in Europe.
