Coriolanus is a 2011 film adaptation of William Shakespeare's tragedy, directed and produced by Ralph Fiennes in his directorial debut. Fiennes stars as the title character, with Gerard Butler as Tullus Aufidius, Vanessa Redgrave as Volumnia, Brian Cox as Menenius and Jessica Chastain as Virgilia. The film places Shakespeare's original text into a contemporary, pseudo-Balkan setting reminiscent of the Yugoslav Wars.
