One of the best King Lear versions. Gritty and unsettling. I love the "O reason not the need" speech to the daughters, who glare at Lear like coiled snakes. This DVD is impossible to find in the US, I bought this one from the UK and converted it from the European format to mp4 on my PC.
Verified purchase: Yes | Condition: Pre-owned
This version must be the best ever. It brings the story to life.Lear is wonderfully played by Scofield, and the whole thing is wonderfully atmospheric. If you only watch one, make it this one.
