Ran - Akira Kurosawa (1985)
Ran, like Kurosawa's 1957 film - "Throne of Blood" is based on a Shakespeare play. This one is an adaptation of "King Lear". The film tells of the downfall of the once-powerful Ichimonji clan after its dying patriarch Hidetora decides to divide his kingdom among his three sons: Taro, Jiro, and Saburo. |
