Ran ruined my life . . . . in a good way.

Rating: 10/10 (4 January 2004)

I've always been quite susceptible to the tragic nature of Lear . . . . but when I saw this movie, it was DEVASTATING. Yeah I've known and cried over Lear since I was 14, but seeing Ran . . . . I was just thrown into shock. I couldn't even cry for the longest time. The artistry, the imagery, the characters-- just the POWER of it all . . . . whoever made this movie was a genius and that violent chick was so cool.
If you're looking for a light family comedy, this is not your best option.
