With RAN, legendary director Akira Kurosawa reimagines Shakespeare's "King Lear" as a singular historical epic set in sixteenth-century Japan. Majestic in scope, the film is Kurosawa's late-life masterpiece, a profound examination of the folly of war and the crumbling of one family under the weight of betrayal, greed, and the insatiable thirst for power. - Criterion Collection

Widely considered one of the most influential filmmakers of the 20th century, Akira Kurosawa created transcendent works of art that challenged cinematic limitations, illuminating the universal truths of the human condition. The Coolidge is thrilled to present this retrospective of eleven new restorations of his films this August!
