L'histoire du "Richard III" de Shakespeare transposée en 1930. Richard, contrefait mais intelligent et plein de charme, élimine tous ceux qui se dressent entre lui et le trône d'Angleterre. (texte officiel du distributeur)

For someone who prefers to avoid all sorts of Shakespeare updates, this Richard III charmed me on the first listen. This is really just a loose adaptation set in a fictional fascist England of the 1930s, and only the number of great period songs can compete with the number of murders. Moreover, the cast is generous indeed - Bening and Scott Thomas are wonderful in addition to the demonic McKellen, but we also get Maggie Smith and Robert Downey Jr.
