Ran
Why this pick

02
Medea
Why this pick
Pasolini treats ancient tragedy as tactile, alien ritual: stark landscapes, stylised performance and an unnerving collision of mythic grandeur with primal brutality.
03
The Fall
Why this pick
Like Taymor's film, it uses extravagant costumes, painterly locations and storybook artifice to make suffering and revenge feel emotionally immediate and mythic.
04
Prospero's Books
Why this pick
For Titus's viewers who relish Shakespeare pushed into maximalist cinema, this is a dense, sensual pageant of bodies, text, paint and conspicuous theatricality.
05
The Devils
Why this pick
Its bold production design, sacrilegious excess and feverish power struggles deliver the same confrontational, deliberately artificial grandeur that makes Titus so singular.
