“SPECTACULAR!
Among the most thrilling movie experiences a viewer can have!”

“★★★★★! CRITICS’ PICK! KUROSAWA’S MAGISTERIAL EPIC DEMANDS VIEWING ON THE BIG SCREEN!”

“They don’t make them like Akira Kurosawa’s magisterial Ran anymore, but the truth is, they didn’t really make them like this regal epic back then either.”
– Kenneth Turan, LA Times

Akira Kurosawa’s Academy Award-winning adaptation of William Shakespeare’s King Lear, Ran considers the disastrous consequences of Lord Hidetora Ichimonji’s (Tatsuya Nakadai) decision to split his kingdom among his three sons.
