Review
King Lear in Russian! Kozintsev's critically acclaimed interpetation sees parrallels between Lear's misjudgement of his daughters and a greater failure to judge his society and to rule with justice and competence. Visually opulent with a powerful Shostakovitch soundtrack. For both film and WS fans.
