King Lear film review.

Michael Elliott's adaptation of "King Lear" is not simply a bad movie, but a lousy pictorial of William Shakespeare's original play. This film version of William Shakespeare's "King Lear" looks as if it was shot on three horribly designed sets: an "outdoor" field, an indoor set with poorly designed pillars that are suppose to resemble rocks, and the interior of a garage.

…showed last 75 words of 1085 total…disappointed me a great deal because of Laurence Olivier's poor acting and how poorly designed the set was.

Michael Elliott's "King Lear" film deserves 90 out of 153 Sonnets. No more. No less. If you want to see a good version of King Lear, I recommend the Japanese version by Tatsuya Nakadai called "Ran".
