ItemImageRan is a movie loosely based on Shakespeare's King Lear. Aptly it is an epic film that runs for two hours and forty minutes. Ran was released in 1985 and was directed by Akira Kurosawa

King Lear set in feudal Japan. Brilliantly filmed and acted. One of the best adaptations of Shakespeare ever filmed.

Not Kurosawa's best, which I think is his black and white work, but absolutely stunning, nonetheless.

It's like watching a beautiful painting come alive. . .it's not for everyone, but it is classic cinema. . .be patient, and watch the Japanese version of King Lear unfold. . .

One of my favorites from Kurosawa. King Lear with a few interesting twists to keep things unpredictable for fans of the original play (for example the king's three daughters are replaced by sons). The set-pieces and costumes are bright, colorful and wonderfully filmed, the acting is heart-felt and powerful, the minimalist music eerily effective and the interpretation of the original play adds a distinctly asian spiritual dimension to it. One of the director's finest.
