This is a film we wanted to cover before, but never quite got around to. A Shakespeare "adaption" in the loosest possible sense of the word, King Lear is a supposed French New Wave picture about the general themes (in a way) of the original play except in a Post-Apocalyptic environment with about as much effort as a college indie art film.
I would go more into it, but you can't do much justice to it in words. You're going to have to experience the full episode to understand just why this movie is the way it is. Even the two of us were polarized over the final product. There is a very good reason for that! Needless to say, it's very much not for everyone.
Randy's Score: 3/5
