- jfengel 3y agoSomehow, Julie Taymor managed to make a masterpiece out of Titus. She embraces the fact that it's a horror story, and treats that horror in a fashion akin to Tarantino: awful and beautiful. I would have sworn it was impossible, but she did it. And having done it, I don't feel like it ever needs to be done again. That said, I've seen moderately successful attempts at other horror-inspired approaches: grand guignol, horror fun-house, even "Titus! The Musical".
