One of the most important and influential film makers in cinematic history, Akira Kursawa directed 30 films in a career spanning 57 years. His final masterpiece, Ran is a reimagining of Shakespeare’s King Lear set in feudal Japan. Backed by French producer Serge Silberman, who was also collaborating with Luis Buňuel, Jacques Becker or Jean-Pierre Melville on their late masterpieces, Kurosawa has created his most epic spectacle with battle scenes composed like classical paintings. Ran tells the story of Hidetora Ichimonji (Tatsya Nakadai – Yojimbo, Kagemusha) an aging warlord who, after spending his life consolidating his empire, decides to abdicate and divide his kingdom amongst his three sons Taro, Jiro and Saburo. When Saburo voices concerns about the wisdom of his father’s plan, claiming that treachery within the family will be inevitable, Hidetora mistakes these comments for a threat and when his servant Tango comes to Saburo's defense, he banishes both of them. This allows Taro and Jiro to take charge, unopposed, leading to a brutal and bloody struggle for the absolute power of the warlord.
