When
it comes to cinematic interpretations, this Shakespeare tragedy just keeps on
giving us great works of art. Grigoria Kozintsev takes us to
Russia and with amazing cinematography and large set pieces he creates a
sweeping epic that’s as memorable as Kurosawa’s Ran. My only
complaint is that it does drag a bit and because of that I can’t give it the
kind of rating its imagery deserves. Still anyone who likes to
see Shakespeare converted to the screen should check this one out. Grade:
B+
My Grading System
A+ = Masterpiece (I hold back on this one.) / A = Great. / A- = Really Good. / B+ = Good. / B = Decent (Serviceable). / B- = Flawed but okay (For those times there's something redeeming about the work). / C+ = Not very good (Skip it). C = Bad. / C- = Awful. / F = Complete Disaster (I hold back on this one too).
Note on Spoilers: I will try to avoid ruining a story by going into too much detail. But if I wish to include some revealing points to my analysis I will try to remember to add a separate spoiler paragraph.
