Review of A. K. (1985) by G S — 28 Nov 2011
A very detailed behind the scenes look at the shooting of Kurosawa's adaptation of Shakespeare's King Lear, Ran. It follows the troubled aspects of the shoot and contains interesting footage of Kurosawa at work.
Also useful as a look inside the production values and the kind of work involved to make films that are so epic. A revealing look into how hard Kurosawa worked, even at such an old age and how passionate he was about filmmaking.
It would have been nice to have followed to film from pre-production and would have been nice to see more interviews with cast and crew. Just lacking a little bit, but nonetheless a great documentary on Kurosawa and Ran.
