Akira Kurosawa’s monumental epic returns to the big screen in a stunning 4K restoration for its 40th anniversary. In 16th-century Japan, an ageing warlord divides his kingdom among his three sons, a fateful decision that sparks a brutal family conflict with catastrophic consequences.
A visionary reimagining of Shakespeare’s King Lear, Ran is widely regarded as one of the greatest war films ever made, renowned for its breathtaking battle sequences, operatic drama, and unforgettable visual grandeur.
A must-see cinematic milestone.
