News that the family home is under threat from deforestation only makes her more passionate about her environment, especially when she meets Oshi, an orphaned orangutan with whom she uncovers the joys and dangers of this threatened world.

Ran

Ran (15)

Monday 18 Aug 20257:00pm

Kurosawa’s late masterpiece adapts Shakespeare’s King Lear as a thrilling tale set in feudal Japan.


Drawing heavily on Shakespeare's King Lear and legends surrounding the 16th-century feudal lord Môri Motonari, Kurosawa took inspiration from the success of Kagemusha to broaden his canvass. Like Throne of Blood, at its heart Ran is a tale of family strife. But in its execution, particularly the stunning exterior sequences and its use of colour - as audacious as Teinosuke Kinugasa's 1953 classic Gate of Hell - the film plays out on an epic scale.
