With Ran, legendary director Akira Kurosawa reimagines Shakespeare’s King Lear as a singular historical epic set in sixteenth-century Japan. Majestic in scope, the film is Kurosawa’s late-life masterpiece, a profound examination of the folly of war and the crumbling of one family under the weight of betrayal, greed, and the insatiable thirst for power.
“Spectacular … Among the most thrilling movie experiences a viewer can have.”
Terrence Rafferty, The New York Times“KUROSAWA’S MAGISTERIAL EPIC DEMANDS VIEWING ON THE BIG SCREEN!” — Time Out New York
“AWE INSPIRING!” — Elliott Stein, Village Voice
A great, glorious achievement.” – Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
