Ran (1985)
Country: JAP
Technical: col 161m
Director: Akira Kurosawa
Cast: Tatsuya Nakadai, Satoshi Terao
Synopsis:
A warlord divides his territory up between his three sons and civil war ensues.
Review:
Spectacularly colourful adaptation of Shakespeare's King Lear, along the lines of the same director's Throne of Blood and Kagemusha. Very bleak and unrelenting, with lashings of gore. (The title is Japanese for 'chaos'.)
