"From Divestment to Due Resolution: King Lear and the New York Fabulists, 1989-92" https://www.worldshakesbib.org/entry/bbbc572/ Author: Nicholls, Mark. Type: Journal Article Year: 2013 Publication Information: Journal of Film and Video 65, no. 3 (2013): 3–13. Annotation: Prompted by Francis Coppola's publicized comparison of his film The Godfather III to King Lear, suggests that six early 1990s films of New York fabulists (Coppola, Woody Allen, and Martin Scorsese) echo themes of King Lear, especially in context of the dire financial situation of the 1990s and its "themes of divestment" and "due resolution."
