Britten: The Rape of Lucretia (2013)
Sarah Connolly's 'outstanding' (The Guardian) portrayal of the wronged Roman noblewoman, written originally for Kathleen Ferrier, lies at the hear of David McVicar's powerfully stark production for English National Opera as 'an everyday sort of woman who could be living at any time or place'. Her nemesis is the arrogant Tarquinius of Christopher Maltman, 'who made the air tingle with danger' (Financial Times). Sung in English.

To me, this movie is perfection.
The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.
When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.
There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.
