In honor of its 40th anniversary, Akira Kurosawa's "Ran" returns to the big screen in a stunning 4K restoration. This Oscar and BAFTA-winning epic reimagines Shakespeare's "King Lear" in 16th-century Japan, where the aging warlord Hidetora Ichimonji's decision to divide his kingdom among his sons sparks a tragic tale of betrayal, chaos, and madness. With breathtaking visuals and a powerful narrative, "Ran" remains a timeless masterpiece that interrogates the devastating consequences of war.

The film is in Japanese, with English subtitles.
