Kurosawa’s Ran: Lord Hidetora seeks solace, passing power to his sons. Wisdom earns Saburo exile; ambition sparks betrayal. A saga of family, power, and revenge unfolds. https://vikingsvssamurai.com/akira-kurosawas-ran/ #Ran #AkiraKurosawa #SamuraiCinema
Happy Birthday to Akira Kurosawa. Born this day in 1910.

I just watched Sanjuro (Akira Kurosawa, 1962) and rated it 7/10 ~ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sanjuro?wprov=sfla1 #films #cinema #cinemastodon #Sanjuro #AkiraKurosawa #ToshiroMifune
Seven Samurai (Kurosawa, 1954) shows the darker side of the warrior tradition as a village in 16th-century Japan faces the threat of marauding bandits.
