Dark and Intriguing Take on Shakespeare

Ran is a film that channels perfectly the emotions found in Shakespeare's play - of greed, revenge, anger, and courage. The whole film looks like it takes place during a fog storm and carries a heavy atmosphere of melancholy that suits the plot and characters. Some of the most intense and wrenching battle scenes Kurosawa has ever captured are vividly portrayed here.
