Ran 1985
a slow start that ultimately builds to a sensation of wow.. cinema.... this has to be the best monarch succession strife story ive seen, and among the few kurosawa films ive watched, this felt singular in having such a novelistic scope - so many characters were being tracked in this story, and though they had but flashes of presence, they leave such an intense impact at the movie's end.... no other succession story comes to mind with such a surprising trove of agendas, worldviews, and anxieties coursing underneath the story surface. truly a work of literature!
