When you sit down to watch Akira Kurosawa’s Ran, you are not simply pressing play on a movie; you are opening a 160-minute epic poem about the death of gods and the madness of men. As the title card appears over a slow, haunting toragaku (Japanese court music) score, you know you are in for a visual assault of the highest order.

Ran was Kurosawa’s last epic. He would make two smaller, more personal films afterward (Dreams, Rhapsody in August), but never again commanded an army of 1,400 extras, 200 horses, and the ability to burn a hand-constructed castle to the ground. The film earned an Academy Award for Costume Design (Emi Wada) and a posthumous nomination for Kurosawa as Best Director—a long-overdue nod from Hollywood.

Ran won the Academy Award for Best Costume Design (Emi Wada) and was nominated for Best Director. It frequently appears in Sight & Sound’s top 100 films of all time. Yet for decades, home video releases varied wildly in quality, making the search for a definitive version an obsession for collectors.


Set in 16th-century Japan, Ran (which means “chaos” or “turmoil”) follows the aging warlord Hidetora Ichimonji, who decides to divide his kingdom among his three sons. Expecting gratitude and harmony, he instead triggers a bloody struggle for supremacy. The youngest son, Saburo, who speaks the truth, is banished, while the elder two – Taro and Jiro – manipulate and betray their father. The film culminates in the famous siege of the Third Castle, a sequence of unmatched visual horror and beauty.
