You will definitely fall in love with the B & W cinemascope, the use of lightning and shadows and the score.Dark-attention dark-date dark-time dark-contact dark-info dark-play dark-price dark-venue icon-alert icon-arrow-left icon-arrow-right icon-blockquote icon-cal icon-clock icon-contact UI / Full-Part-Volunteer Copy Created with Sketch. Overall, these films encapsulate perfectly the mood and essence of those two Shakespearean plays, which i find is lacking in other, more popular film adaptions. Last but definitely not least, the haunting music scores by the famous Soviet composer Dmitri Shostakovich alone are more than enough to recommend these films. The acting in both Hamlet and King Lear is pretty much excellent, especially from the protagonists, and the russian language doesn't harm the Shakespearean atmosphere. The black and white cinematography is perfect, very artistic and fully compliments the tone of the films. The set, costumes, lightning are all amazing. Along with Kurosawa's Ran and Throne of Blood, they are IMO the four greatest Shakespearean adaptions. I admire and consider Olivier's and Branagh's adaptions of Shakespeare essential, but they pale in comparison to these Soviet epics. As my first post ever, i would like to discuss the underrated film adaptions of the famous Shakespearean plays "Hamlet" and "King Lear" by the Soviet director Grigori Kozintsev.
