Annotation:
	Explores apocalyptic vision in Peter Brook's and Akira Kurosawa's film adaptations of King Lear (both q.v.). Contends that "both film-makers are audacious in their appropriation of Shakespeare to represent their own views, in effect making the claim that speaks for their personal view--a view which . . . addresses both the challenges and the possibilities of the culture that each . . . is a product of, producing a vision of both a specific apocalypse and a large possibility for positive social growth."
