Ditto... some of the Chinese movies I've seen have lovely filmography but that language just grates on my ears. Japanese sounds like a real language, at least.

I want to see "Ran" one of these days. Keep meaning to look for it... Shakespeare as done by Kurisawa has to be interesting, right?

I really enjoyed RAN... his remake of King Lear and MacBeth (jap titles escape me) are first class...

I'm glad I'm not the only one...
