Perfection, masterwork, brilliance.

Rating: 10/10 (17 February 2019)

Even though Ran being close to three hours long, you won't find a dull moment during the film. Location, camerawork, costumes, plot twists, character development, beginning, ending, wars, executions, there is simply no flaw to be found.
Was expecting an uninteresting plot, which is usually the case with samurai films from the 80's (Shogun Assassin, Legend of Eight Samura). Instead I was met with a perceptive and philosophical plot attempting to dissect human nature, and our relationship with life, death and our own sanity.
