	World Cinema: Directors -- Grigori Kozintsev
		An important figure in post-revolutionary art circles, Kozintsev was one of several co-founders—including his future partner Leonid Trauberg—of the influential, experimental theater group, FEX (Factory of the Eccentric Actor).
		A few years after its foundation in 1921 FEX turned its attention to filmmaking, bringing its eclectic, bombastic style to the screen with the medium-length The Adventures of Oktyabrina (1924).
		Kozintsev and Trauberg began co-directing feature films later in the decade, reaching their peak with the hugely popular "Maxim" trilogy (The Youth of Maxim, 1935, The Return of Maxim, 1937, The Vyborg Side, 1938), an unromanticized portrait of the formation of a revolutionary.

	King Lear (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		Grigori Kozintsev was born in 1905 in Kiev (USSR) and showed since his childhood a lively interest in the theatre.
		The last film in Kozintsev's long and noteworthy career, it is not only a very successful adaptation of Shakespeare's play, but an intensely personal work of art, the result of the director's own 'brooding' and long years or profound research and careful thought.
		Indeed, the film still reveals Kozintsev's enormous and unflinching enthusiasm (so characteristic of the young adolescent boy!), yet combines with it the commitment to a cause: in spite of its humanistic values, the film may very well be interpreted in terms of dialectical materialism.

	SHAKSPER 2001: Grigori Kozintsev's Hamlet
		What is peculiarly exciting at the level of cinematic conception is Kozintsev's division of the action into four planes, and his stress on making as many of those planes visible in single shots as possible.
		Kozintsev has entirely solved the proscenium arch problem; there is not a trace of staginess here.
		Kozintsev was born in 1905, and after some early film successes he made only three features in the last twenty years of his life (though I'm betting he did a lot of stage direction as well).

		Grigori Kozintsev (1964): Kozintsev’s response is to emphasize the political aspects of Shakespeare’s play, instead of the psychological ones that Olivier explored.
		Kozintsev’s film is Marxist in orientation, examining how the corrupt religious underpinnings of feudal society drive good-hearted people like Hamlet to their deaths.
		Kozintsev figures the dread of authoritarian power through a ghost who is 30 feet tall and stalks the countryside.

		In this way, Kozintsev, a Marxist, reconfigures "Hamlet" into a meditation on the feudal Russian life under the Czars, a social order which purportedly was toppled by Lenin’s revolution.
		Kozintsev’s "Hamlet" is also of interest because it offers us a glimpse at the Soviet cinema during a period, the 1960s, that is little understood in the United States.
		One of the revelations of Kozintsev’s film is its testament that masterful cinema continued in the Soviet Union, even after Stalin’s authoritarian installation of an artistically crippling "socialist realism" in the early 1930s.

	Another Russia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		Aesthetically, the dominant force at Lenfilm in the silent era was the team of Grigori Kozintsev and Leonid Trauberg (The New Babylon); Kozintsev especially would remain a major influence on Lenfilm production over the next five decades, and his enormous prestige allowed him to create a space at Lenfilm for outsiders and dissenters.
		Co-directors Kozintsev and Trauberg were co-founders of the futurist theatre group FEKS, the Factory of the Eccentric Actor, and their predilection for inventive satire, extravagant visuals, and stylized performances is on dynamic display.
		Veteran Soviet director Grigori Kozintsev (The New Babylon) was responsible for two magnificent Shakespeare adaptations near the end of his long career: 1964's Hamlet (screened in our "Soviet New Wave of the Sixties" series in 2001), and this much-acclaimed version of King Lear.

	SHAKSPER 2001: Re: Grigori Kozintsev's Hamlet
		Charles's argument is, at root, a theoretical one that would declare Branagh's Hamlet automatically superior to Kozintsev's on the ground that it presents a complete text in the right order and doesn't take "liberties." I strongly disagree with this.
		Kozintsev's sinewy (not "lovely") images contribute to a remarkable interpretation, not illustration, of Shakespeare's long and difficult play.
		The same is true in the Kozintsev film, which I felt conveyed a very lonely, isolated intellectual dissident trapped in an oppressive political milieu.

		Aesthetically, the dominant force at Lenfilm at first was a team that included Grigori Kozintsev, whose enormous prestige allowed him tremendous leeway and influence for five decades.
		Lenfilm’s adaptations of Hamlet and King Lear, both directed by Grigori Kozintsev, are among the greatest film versions of Shakespeare.
		Kozintsev skillfully captures both the chaos of battle and the deepening madness of the king.

	Contemporary Films, feature film library and documentary archive
		Considered one of the best film versions of Shakespeare's Hamlet, and by some critics the best, this 1963 Russian masterpiece by director Grigori Kozintsev is a haunting fl and white depiction of Hamlet's anguish and his revenge of his father's murder by his politically aspiring uncle.
		This early film of Grigoei Kozintsev was made to commemorate the 60th anniversary of the Paris Commune.
		The film defies all classification - it comes almost from the pages of Victor Hugo with a touch of D W Griffith - a dance macabre of the Second Empire and the Commune of Paris.

	[No title] (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		Kozintsev just turned the sequence into a simple shortened monologue and Hamlet is also absent.
		As an additional link we can also observe that the sea which Grigori uses the same way as we fade in and out from the used ”image”, is also present during Olivier’s picture, but only when the credits roll and when Hamlet says the most famous line: “To be, or not to be.
		This is Kozintsev’s brilliant “draw”, because in the original Shakespearian drama, action lasts several months and it is nearly impossible for filmmakers to demonstrate it with a logical link, which would impress the audience.

	Electric Shadows - Hamlet
		Directed by Grigori Kozintsev in 1964, the screenplay was adapted from Shakespeare by no less a writer than Boris Pasternak (author of DR ZHIVAGO), and the film features an extraordinarily powerful score by Dimitri Shostakovich.
		The images of Hamlet's castle by a storm-tossed sea are evocative and haunting, and the performances - especially by Innokenti Smoktunovski as Hamlet - are intense and passionate.
		The heavy brass and percussion (extraordinarily mixed with piano and pizzicato strings) over the appearance of the ghost - a giant figure in full armour, with a fl cloak billowing in the wind as he stalks the battlements of the castle - is a stunning moment of both music and cinema.

	King Lear - Russian - Grigori Kozintsev 1969
		This is one of rare Shakespeare's filmings, where "filming" doesn't sound as a common noun.
		Of course Kozintsev is one of the greatest Russian director's, but Jarvet is just genious in his phylosophical interpretation.
		This might seem like damning with faint praise, except that Kozintsev has done what Brook didn't, what Olivier's BBC production didn't, and what every stage production I have ever seen resolutely and spectacularly failed to do.

		The two remained together until just after producing the post-war drama Plain People, a 1945 film that was not released by authorities until the mid '50s.
		Kozintsev and Trauberg split up shortly after the government banned the film.
		As a solo director Kozintsev became known for making faithful film adaptations of popular literature including the works of Shakespeare and Cervantes.

	Annotations of King Lear III, vii (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		Russian director Grigori Kozintsev, in his 1971 film, does not show the blinding either.
		The audience does see Gloucester's face afterwards, but, because the film is in fl and white, it does not have the same visual impact that the 1983 film does.
		In the 1971 Russian film directed by Grigori Kozintsev, Gloucester screams these lines from off-screen, while the camera shows Edmond in his chamber listening to his father's torture.

	the Finnish Film Archive: Helsinki 2000: st petersburg formalists
		Filmmakers Grigori Kozintsev and Leonid Trauberg are often mentioned in connection with the Formalists, as of course the ever-curious Sergei Eisenstein.
		Formalism was tolerated in Soviet-Russia in the early 20s, but gradually the mere word formalism became a sign of evil: many of its adherents lost the opportunities to pursue their artistic or scientific work and in the most extreme cases also their lives.
