Hamlet / King Lear - Grigori Kozintsev (2XDVD Bundle)

Soviet giant Grigori Kozintsev directed arguably the finest cinematic adaptations of William Shakespeare's classic plays..

World cinema gurus Mr Bongo Films join forces with the Guardian to present this 2 DVD offer at a special price for Observer readers of £17.99 Including free UK delivery

HAMLET (1964)
Kozintsev's strong visual style places the characters on a rich widescreen canvas while preserving the inward dimension of Hamlet’s own. Praised by Laurence Olivier himself, Innokenty Smoktunevsky's energetic yet contained performance brings the Prince of Denmark into living flesh.

KING LEAR (1971)
With Shostakovich's roaring score, Kozintsev's flamboyant use of widescreen cinematography and a translation by Nobel Laureate Boris Paternak as script, it is Juri Jarvet that steals the show as the mad, tyrannical and heart-breaking Lear.

Reviewed in THE OBSERVER by Philip French on the 16th of October - "Intelligent and visually stunning...classic versions"
