This Italian version of King Lear is memorable mainly because of the primitive hand-tinting, which remains bright and good to look at. In the lead, Ermente Novelli is touching and mesmerising, while Francesca Bertini is a charming and naive Cordelia. Novelli's wife plays one of the other daughters.
Silent Shakespeare productions were curious since these plays do rely so much on their message being conveyed by the use of dialogue. That short examples like this one still work when nearly a century has passed is staggering. The BFI are to be particularly commended in making productions like 'Re Lear' available on home video.
