How did that get here?
I was disappointed to find that it didn't mention the greatest Russian Hamlet, which was the 1964 black and white movie version directed by Grigori Kozintsev (1). This used a translation by Boris Pasternak.
It won a lot of awards at the time, and the cinemaphotography is wonderful, but it's probably much too dated for modern tastes...
It does link to a separate article about Pasternak and that film: http://blogs.bl.uk/european/2016/06/the-rhythm-of-free-speec...
Aha, many thanks. I read the story and missed the link....
