Ran! What an incredible movie. A Japanese take on King Lear.
I agree that Akira Kurosawa’s Ran is a great film. So is “Throne of Blood”, Kurosawa’s version of Macbeth. (Lady Macbeth in this one will send a real chill up your spine.) Kurosawa’s “Rashomon” is one of the greatest films ever made, and “Ikiru” (”To Live”) will break your heart.
