From the liner notes

One of the truly great Soviet films, and possibly the greatest translation of Shakespeare to the screen, Grigori Kozintsev's epic adaptation, shot in Lithuania, is a visually stunning tour-de-force. Screenplay by Boris Pasternak. Music by Dimitri Shostakovich. "It will stand as one of the unshakable edifices of Shakespearean imagination" (New Yorker).
