If you loved Drunken Angel, try Ran

A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.

What they share

Both films are directed by Akira Kurosawa, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Drunken Angel, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Ran is

Feudal Japan, autumn, a crumbling castle wall. An aging warlord divides his kingdom among three sons, loyal armies await. Kurosawa reinterprets Shakespeare through a Japanese lens.
