Movie Reviews of King Lear
Movie Review: Phenomenal
Summary: 5 Stars
Absolutely amazing! The best production of King Lear or any other Shakespeare play I've seen. Sir Laurence Olivier is perfect. John hurt is amazing. The only weak actree is Diana Riggs who gives a too self-conscious performance. Five glorious stars!
Summary of King Lear
The late Sir Lawrence Olivier stars in this Emmy Award winning production of Shakespeare's King Lear. It is the timeless tale of greed and lust for power, and of a sick old man, his scheming children and lost loyalties. Also stars Diana Rigg, John Hurt, Leo McKern, and Colin Blakely. Special DVD features include a biography and filmography on Sir Lawrence Olivier, character and cast list, chapter stops on each scene, and more. 158 minutes.Art House & International DVD Video
