Monsieur Brook is a movie genius indeed: Ever since I saw his version of the Indian epic Mahabharata I did worship him; and as long as he does not try do produce any modern nonsense like this “Marat Sade” fuss he cannot fail but be brilliant; and had he not cut the text of King Lear so much it would have been the best version made of the play I have seen so far; but than again: He did focus on the tragic essence by doing so: Here we see an old exhausted Lear causing his own destruction.
