Ran remains one of the most influential and admired films in the history of world cinema, a fitting capstone to the career of one of the medium’s greatest artists. It is a film that asks the biggest questions about life, death, and the meaning of existence, and answers them with a mixture of despair and awe.
Based loosely on Shakespeare’s King Lear , Ran (meaning "Chaos" or "Turmoil") follows the aging Great Lord Hidetora Ichimonji. He decides to abdicate his throne and split his kingdom among his three sons. The result is predictable treachery: the two elder sons flatter him while the honest youngest son is banished. What follows is not just a family drama, but a horrific vision of hell on Earth.
