Rating:

This is a Russian, black-and-white production of the great Shakespearean classic, starring Juri_Jarvet. Long-considered one of the greatest and most wrenching tragedies in world literature, King_Lear shows that great force of character is not necessarily wise, rude speech is not necessarily unkind, and madness is in some cases a perfectly reasonable response to intolerable conditions. This film's low-key, dark imagery is a fitting match for the dark content of the play itself. Clarke Fountain, Rovi
