King Lear

Thought the concept of a modern day (fictional location) for a Shakespeare was a great thing. Been wanting to find some time to watch this as I have always been interested in Shakespeare and never seem to have the time to sit down and dig thru one of his plays and learn to grasp that style of language. So as you can guess this movie was a bit hard for me to follow as a result of a lack of emersion in old English as a language. I was able to follow along fairly well I think and fully understand the tragedy of this work. I quite enjoyed it and thought it well done.
