Ran is Kurosawa's Othello, his last masterpiece and his final statement as an artist. It is a remarkably compelling and powerful epic that pulls you in and doesn't let you go until you have been completely drained of all emotion and hope for humanity. It is a transposition of Shakespeare's King Lear, set in feudal Japan: An elderly lord abdicates to his three sons. One son is bold enough to warn the lord of his rash decision and is banished for his disloyalty. The other two sons vie for power and scheme against their father, driving the old man insane.

Kurosawa's greatness lies in his capacity to reveal historical similarity and variance; to find a Shakespearean sense of doom in the other, remote, and apparently alien historical place.

En av tidenes beste krigsfilmer. Akira Kurosawa var ogsaa maler. Han malte alle scenene i filmen paa store lerett istedet for aa tegne smaa "storyboards" som andre filmskapere gjÃ¸r. Noe han brukte over 10 aar paa. Og det syns i filmen. Du kan bokstavelig talt "pause" filmen naar som helst og du ser paa et kunstverk som er fint nok til aa henge paa veggen.

I hate to say this, but this may be the greatest Shakespeare adaptation of all time.
