Movie Reviews of Ran (The Criterion Collection)

Movie Review: T-Ran-scidentally great
Summary: 5 Stars

Words cannot describe the excellent service I received. I was very wary, as this would be my first purchase from Amazon, and I don't tend to order items from strangers. But this gentleman infused confidence. Not only did I receive my order earlier than expected, it was exactly in the condition he advertised (i.e. - like new), with everything functioning normally. I whole-heartedly recommend buying from this gentleman.

Movie Review: Ran
Summary: 5 Stars

Kurosawa's late-career triumph is a vibrant, colorful epic, its drama magnified by an awesome visual sweep encompassing both period pageantry and setting. Shakespeare's fundamental themes of loyalty and betrayal play out with full force, thanks to superb performances by both Nakudai (a Kurosawa veteran) and Ryu in the pivotal roles. Another breathtaking achievement from this revered master of cinema.

Movie Review: Magnificent
Summary: 5 Stars

I've watched many Japanese movies and have never 'felt' them until I watched "Ran". Powerful, 'Dark', you can almost guess what's going to happen but it still comes at you and makes it all the harder to bear. The Criterion Collection has done a wonderful, if not masterful remake of this classic. Wow!

Movie Review: A Masterpiece
Summary: 5 Stars

This film is awesome in the truest sense of the word. Throughout the film you can't help but be in awe of Akira Kurosawa's vision as a director. Everything in the film is huge: the colors, the battle scenes, the incredible cinematic shots in the mountains, and most of all, the emotions.

Movie Review: Great documentary disk, great movie
Summary: 5 Stars

The Criterion collection is terrific for Kurasawa fans. The interviews with him are illuminating and the watercolor narrative derived from his paintings is very interesting. If you don't yet have a copy of Ran, this collection is the one to get.
