Ran – Os Senhores Da Guerra

This magnificent film by Akira Kurosawa adapts Shakespeare's King Lear to the themes and settings of Medieval Japan, featuring the tale of an aging warrior who decides to divide his lands among his three sons, unleashing a power struggle among the siblings that ends tragically. Kurosawa's masterful direction results in an extraordinary and eccentric fusion of one of the West's greatest literary classics with a meticulous study of 16th-century Japanese history.
