Shakespeare's most politically relevant play
Among all of Shakespeare's plays, Coriolanus is by far the one that is most politically relevant today, both in the US and abroad. Perhaps this is why Fienne's adaptation is one of the few modernizations of Shakespeare that I actually enjoyed (i.e. compare with recent attempts to do the same with Romeo and Juliet or Titus Andronicus).
The reason it remains relevant is that it tells a story of a great and noble man whose reputation and career were dragged down by the rabble and by the opportunistic political hacks who come to power by posing as "voices of the common people." So instead of statesmen capable of making courageous but unpopular decisions that serve the long-term needs of a nation, then and now, we get populist charlatans who pander to the masses.
