King Lear
Watch TrailerKing Lear, old and tired, divides his kingdom among his daughters, giving great importance to their protestations of love for him. When Cordelia, youngest and most honest, refuses to idly flatter the old man in return for favor, he banishes her and turns for support to his remaining daughters. But Goneril and Regan have no love for him and instead plot to take all his power from him. In a parallel, Lear's loyal courtier Gloucester favors his illegitimate son Edmund after being told lies about his faithful son Edgar. Madness and tragedy befall both ill-starred fathers.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take
This is quietly operating cinema. No big events, no crisis turns — just people and how they live through what happens to them.
Strengths: atmosphere, actors, accuracy of detail. Weaknesses: the pace isn't for everyone, the ending may feel unresolved.
For people who watch films for feeling, not entertainment.
Director: Grigori Kozintsev

Viewing atmosphere: An evening when your mind is at peace. With someone you can sit in silence with after. Wine or tea.
