Ran (4K Restoration)

With RAN, legendary director Akira Kurosawa reimagines Shakespeare's "King Lear" as a singular historical epic set in sixteenth-century Japan.

Majestic in scope, the film is Kurosawa's late-life masterpiece, a profound examination of the folly of war and the crumbling of one family under the weight of betrayal, greed, and the insatiable thirst for power. - Criterion Collection
