Didn't enjoy it as much as I imagined. I can find all its artistry and greatness, as well as acting, but it doesn't fully vibe with my taste
Akira Kurosawa is one of the best directors of all time, and it’s not particularly close.
Ran is a beautiful, stunning piece of work telling a bloody and sad tale of greed. Lady Kaede is breathtaking! Kurosawa is truly legendary.
On pure scope and cinematography the film is perfect. While watching the screen you will become mesmerized
King Lear on a grand and sweeping scale. Thoroughly cementing Kurosawa's status as the Shakespeare of cinema
Watching Kurosawa direct colour makes me wish he did it more but the thrilling 3 hours is far more than just visual flare. A perfect movie
Flawless adaptation of Shakespeare's 'King Lear'. The cinematography and direction is mesmerizingly beautiful, contrasting the tragic tale.
Some of the most beautiful war scenes I've ever seen, a must watch for any King Lear fans. Can be a bit slow for some tastes though.
One of Kurosawa's best films, and being one of the greatest directors of all time, it makes it well worth a watch.
This one takes a lot of patience, which makes sense when adapting Shakespeare into samurai cinema. More of an experience than entertainment
