Review of Ran (1985) by Ivan D — 10 Oct 2008
This is one of Kurosawa's finest, and one of the greatest ever. The story was based on the Shakesperean tragedy, "King Lear" and was modified to fit the setting of feudal Japan. It also contains the most beautiful opening scene I've seen, a stunning piece of location that Kurosawa perfectly implied into the background of the opening credits.
This film is simply great, Kurosawa's last epic, and one of his most remarkable achievements.
