Review of Ran (1985) by Tanner B — 01 Aug 2016
Ran (1985) C-162m. ???? D: Akira Kurosawa. Tatsuya Nakadai, Akira Terao, Jinpachi Nezu, Mieko Harada. Shattering retelling of Shakespeare's King Lear follows 16th century elderly warlord, his family's betrayal.
Harada is greatest villainess in screen history; her decapitation scene equally memorable. Haunting, one-of-a-kind masterpiece from Kurosawa.
