RAN-Rare Original Vintage Japanese Movie Poster for Akira Kurosawa's Feudal Samurai Masterpiece with Tatsuya Nakadai, Akira Terao, and Jinpachi Nezu. In Medieval Japan, an elderly warlord retires, handing over his empire to his three sons. Unfortunately, he vastly underestimates how the newfound power will corrupt them causing them to turn on each other...and him. Based on Shakespeare's "King Lear" and including segments based on legends of the daimyō Mōri Motonari, Akira Kurosawa's RAN is a staggering achievement in the annals of Film History. Logistically as complex as anything ever put on Film RAN was one of the most difficult productions ever staged, right up there with Abel Gance's "Napoleon", Francis Ford Coppola's "Apocalypse Now" and Steven Spielberg's "Saving Private Ryan". Ran was Kurosawa’s last great epic. With a budget of $12 million, it was the most expensive Japanese film ever produced. The film hypnotizes with its powerful images and inspired use of color. The costume designer Emi Wada won an Academy Award for her work on Ran. The distinctive Gustav Mahler-inspired film score, written by Toru Takemitsu, plays in isolation with the ambient sound muted during the battle at the third castle, which is featured as the central image of this poster.
