Pictrorial beauty can never be better than this

Rating: 10/10 (28 April 1999)

Pictorial beauty can never be better than this. The film is masterfully arranged and provide some of the most beautiful scenes I Â´ve ever seen. Shakespeare would have been proud of this adaption from "King Lear". This is not the first film by Kurosawa that has a Shakespeare play as inspiration, but I think this is the best one of them all. Just look at the sky in the beginning when troubles occur, the sky and cloud changes to become hostile. This film is in my opinion Kurosawas number one movie.
