The Russian version of "King Lear."

Films/DVD Asylum

Movies from comedy to drama to your favorite Hollyweird Star.

Perfect casting and acting.
As is the case with all Shakespearean tragedy, the effort rises or falls on the skill of the central role. The actor who plays the cursed King looks the part, acts it, but never falls into the chest-beating, hair-pulling, screaming excesses seen all too often on our stages.
All three daughters also are wonderfully cast, as are the brothers.
Not filmed theater but, like the Russian "Hamlet," a skillful adaptation to the screen.

Bondarchuk also was in King Lear so Solaris was a reunion of sorts. - tinear 05:46:55 11/02/07 (2)

No, you are confused with Russian names - Victor Khomenko 06:23:55 11/02/07 (1)

I confused the two "Bs," not the faces. Jarvet, I recall mentioning in - tinear 11:51:02 11/02/07 (0)
