Product Information
For his 27th film, the "sensei" of Japanese cinema, Akira Kurosawa, transposes Shakespeare's KING LEAR to feudal Japan. RAN, which translates as "chaos" or "turmoil," is the tragic tale of Lord Hidetora, a warlord who decides to divide his empire among his three sons on the eve of his 70th birthday. However, Hidetora's youngest and most compassionate son, Saburo, defiantly objects to this hasty decision and is disowned by the proud, stubborn ruler. Once the two eldest sons take control of the empire, they quickly turn on their father and begin vying for total control over the land. As Hidetora is banished from his own kingdom in a bloody battle, he must confront the consequences of his violent, ruthless past. Ten years in the making, RAN represents the culmination of Kurosawa's career by revisiting his skill at adapting Shakespeare, as evidenced in THRONE OF BLOOD, and displaying the cinematic splendor of his other landmark films such as SEVEN SAMURAI and RASHOMON. With its magnificent costumes, breathtaking settings, and amazingly photographed battle sequences, the film is truly stunning. An epic on the grandest of scales, RAN is not only one of Kurosawa's finest films, it is a glorious masterpiece of Japanese cinema.Product Identifiers

One of the greatest epics put to film!
As a Criterion collector, I feel a little silly needing the DVD edition of Ran. A blu-ray is out (non criterion) and I should upgrade, but this out of print DVD is one of the most beautiful releases from Criterion. Stunning cover, and amazing booklet inside and double disc, it’s just so gorgeous! Maybe one day they’ll upgrade to a Kurosawa box set, but til then this is a must have!Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht

This Is The Only Version To Get
I had the other Ran versions but the color was all wrong. This Criterion version has the correct color tones. I’ll bet the sound is better also. It took me awhile to find an affordable copy but after a year of waiting I got one for 30-something dollars. Was worth the wait.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht
