Based on the play by William Shakespeare, "believed to have been written in 1599" (Wikipedia), the main source for which "is Thomas North's translation of Plutarch's Lives" (Wikipedia).
Rome, 44 BC. Julius Caesar returns victorious from battle, and may become Emperor. A group of Senators wants to prevent that, and plot to kill him.
This is the second filmed version of this play that I watch. I liked the previous one, of 1953, slightly better, but cannot state the reason why. This one felt a little lethargic, for some reason that I cannot fathom either. It is an easy watch, though, as the plot and dialogue are interesting, and there is no technical flaw in the filming that I could spot.
