Steeped in fascist iconography, the film openly draws from the aesthetic of the Third Reich, a stylistic choice that emphasizes the pure evil at the heart of Richard's agenda. Richard III. Shakespeare's classic play about the Machiavellian rise to power and subsequent short reign of King Richard III of England is set in an alternative 1930s, in this celebrated film adaptation.

ReviewsLos Angeles Times - This is Shakespeare exciting enough for even the most dubious, which, after all, is no less than the man deserves., Entertainment Weekly - "...A radical break with tradition....At once bracing and true to Shakespeare..." -- Rating: B+, Time Out - This triumphant take on the Crookback king is as different from Olivier's '50s historical pageant as chalk is from malmsey., Variety - A sure-fire crowd-pleaser among recent Shakespeare movies., Sight and Sound - ...RICHARD III is a film to listen to as much as to watch....[The] design is perhaps the most imaginative and atmospheric use of locations in a British movie for a while...
