4.0 out of 5 stars Revenge Tragedy and Jacobean Drama, 15 Oct 2003
By Michelle Monahan (Devon United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Revengers Tragedy [2003] [DVD] (DVD)
Anyone who is studying or merely interested in Jacobean tragedy should see this movie. Christopher Eccleston's emotive performance really puts meaning to the essence of revenge tragedy. This film has echoes of Baz Luhrmann's Romeo and Juliet, fast and modern, it does for Middleton what Baz did for Shakespeare. A play brought to life. A definate must!

5.0 out of 5 stars Dazzling, 13 Mar 2004
By A Customer
This review is from: Revengers Tragedy [2003] [DVD] (DVD)
There's more offbeat brilliance in a scene of this film than in an average year of Hollywood pap. Alex Cox (if you haven't heard of him, you're missing a lot) directs a splendidly anarchic adaptation of Middleton's play; it's perfectly cast, directed with deft wackiness, and altogether a must-see. One of the best films of the last few years.

5.0 out of 5 stars Truly astonishing
I bought this on a whim, from a fondness for Eddie Izzard. And it proved to be one of the most memorable films I've ever seen. Read more

This is beneath contempt. Don't buy it, give the money to someone and ask them to poke you in the eye, you'll have more fun.
