If you loved Sanshiro Sugata, Part Two, 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 both carry the slow burn mood tag, and they sit in Action / Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Sanshiro Sugata, Part Two, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
slow burn
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.
