I own 3 versions of the movie on DVD, and can never get enough. From the incredible imagery to the haunting strains of Toru Takemitsu's score, The sheer love and dedication of Kurosawa is there for us to see. The cast respond in kind, bringing his characters to life. Nakadai really pulls off the role of Ichimonji, but the true standout has to be Mieko Harada in the role of Lady Kaede. It may have taken almost all of his of his life, but this female character is one of the strongest I've seen. Others worth mentioning are Peter, in the role of Kyoami the Jester, and my favorite, Masayuki Yui as Tango, the loyal Retainer. Do not miss this Masterpiece.

so nihilistic that you probably won't be able to sleep peacefully ever again. the tragedy of man's eternal search for bloodshed. yay.

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.

This movie is the definition of Epic. Plus, all the extras actually died. Japan is so xhardxcorex.

Visually, one of the most amazing movies I've ever seen.
