Cast:

"...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..." -- Lizzie Francke , (Sight and Sound)

"...A radical break with tradition....At once bracing and true to Shakespeare..." -- Rating: B+ -- Owen Gleiberman , (Entertainment Weekly)

"Spirited acting, machine-gun pacing and ominous Art Deco settings combine to rousing effect in this RICHARD III..." -- Godfrey Cheshire , (Variety)

"...Made with gusto, daring and visual brilliance, this stripped-down, jazzed-up RICHARD pulsates with bloody life, a triumph of both modernization and popularization..." -- Kenneth Turan , (Los Angeles Times)

"...Not just a seductive telling of Shakespeare's story but also a perversely entertaining one..." -- Roger Ebert , (Chicago Sun-Times)
