The British Film Institute have just released their latest daily Vodcast, presenting the best of Day 5 of this year's London Film Festival. The big news yesterday was the first screening of Coriolanus - the directorial debut of Ralph Fiennes (Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2) - with Fiennes supported by cast members Brian Cox (Rise of the Planet of the Apes) and Vanessa Redgrave (Anonymous). Meanwhile Frederick Wiseman (Boxing Gym) introduced his latest documentary, Crazy Horse, and Giorgos Lanthimos (Dogtooth) presented his newest feature, Alps, while Woody Harrelson (Rampart) also took part in the first of the Screen Talks, presented in partnership with American Express. "Coriolanus synopsis: Coriolanus (Ralph Fiennes), a hero of Rome, is a great soldier but despises the people. His extreme views ignite a mass riot and he is banished from Rome. Coriolanus allies with a sworn enemy (Gerard Butler) to take his revenge on the city. As director and star, Ralph Fiennes brings William Shakespeare’s visceral history play to the big screen for the first time. Coriolanus is a drama for the ages, a commentary on the precarious draw of war and an auspicious directorial debut from one of the world’s great classical actors."
