Shakespeare "King Lear"-Kozintsev (1971)- Act 1, scene iv

[porooshat]

this is the best version of king lear......love this movie so much!!!!

Fool is outstanding and Kent is excellent. They are far better than any I've seen in these two roles and I've seen all the major productions of the past 40 years.

Gloucester and Edgar are also the best I've seen.

now, this is one hell of a movie. great acting, terrific sets, excellent editing. just imagine what the russians could have made if they just stayed off the booze...

cool

[kadiekerr]

This is superb!!

The fool is just that, a fool. The wisest being in the play who is ironically called such a one. Although a fool in Shakespeare's time,w as someone who was wise and of great value.

Beautiful!

[mycheesedguitar]

WOW! this rendition is by far the best out there I reckon...

The fool in this is BRILLIANT!!

stage direction is fantastic, I love the way they do this scene over the table...so interesting contrasting to regan storming in and lear suddenly bursting into his crazy screaming
