In honour of its 40th anniversary, Ran returns to the big screen in a breathtaking 4K restoration. Kurosawa’s most epic masterpiece is a thorough interrogation of the folly of war. Winner of an Oscar and two BAFTAs.
Akira Kurosawa reinterpreted Shakespeare's King Lear filming it as an historical epic set in 16th-century Japan. Tatsuya Nakadai plays the aging warlord Hidetora Ichimonji, whose decision to split his kingdom between his sons leads to treason, destruction and madness.
