In a post-Chernobyl world where culture has been lost, William Shakespeare Jr. V (played by theater director Peter Sellars) attempts to reconstruct his ancestor’s play, abetted by a cast that includes Molly Ringwald, Burgess Meredith, and Godard himself as a crazed avant savant. Through a dense layering of sounds, images, and ideas about everything from language to the economics of filmmaking to the very meaning of art in a ruined world, Godard fashions a puckish and profound metacinematic riddle to be endlessly analyzed, argued over, and savored.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4 class=\"header_lvl2 hideSmall\" data-feature-title-field=\"\"\u003eDVD SPECIAL EDITION FEATURES\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-features-list\" data-special-features-field=\"\"\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eNew 2K digital restoration\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eAudio recording of the 1987 Cannes Film Festival press conference, featuring director Jean-Luc Godard\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eNew interviews with Richard Brody, author of\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eEverything Is Cinema: The Working Life of Jean-Luc Godard,\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/i\u003eand actors Molly Ringwald and Peter Sellars\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eEnglish subtitles for the deaf and hard of hearing\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003ePLUS: An essay by Brody\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eNew cover by Eric Skillman\u003c\/em\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Criterion Collection","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44291771760840,"sku":"CC3639DDVD","price":40.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0598\/8486\/3688\/files\/kingleardvd.jpg?v=1734210262","url":"https:\/\/videomatica.com\/es\/products\/king-lear-dvd","provider":"Videomatica Ltd (since 1983)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
