Ran
Departures - New Japanese Cinema
Legendary Japanese director Akira Kurosawa was born in March 1910. We celebrate the centenary of his birth with a screening of one of his most enduring achievements. The Oscar-winning Ran offers a majestic reinterpretation of King Lear as a warlord divides his kingdom between his three sons plunging the country into chaos as the two elder sons battle for supremacy. Peerless storytelling that reveals Kurosawa’s dazzling command of the film medium from the quality of the performances to the beauty of the images and epic battle scenes that haunt the memory. A true classic of international cinema.
