King Lear (Russian: Король Лир, romanized: Korol Lir) is a 1970 Soviet drama film directed and adapted by Grigori Kozintsev, based on William Shakespeare's play. The score was composed by Dmitri Shostakovich. The film, restored to HD 4K, features Jüri Järvet as King Lear (voiced by Zinovy Gerdt), Elza Radziņa as Goneril, Galina Volchek as Regan, Valentina Shendrikova as Cordelia, Oleg Dahl as the Fool, Kārlis Sebris as Gloucester, Leonhard Merzin as Edgar (voiced by Emmanuil Vitorgan), Regimantas Adomaitis as Edmund, Vladimir Yemelyanov as Kent, Aleksandr Vokach as Cornwall, Donatas Banionis as Albany (voiced by Aleksandr Demyanenko), Aleksei Petrenko as Oswald, and Juozas Budraitis as the King of France. Kozintsev’s career spanned five decades, from the 1920s to his final film in 1971, and this adaptation is regarded as one of the greatest renditions of Shakespeare on screen.
