the kurosawa powa

one of the most colorful movies i've ever seen, ran, this 1985 3-hour epic loosely based on lear and set in feudal japan, was one of kurosawa's last movies though proved that as he was losing his sight, he could still do fucking amazing work. i try watching it every time it's on tv, even if i just mute it and listen to music. honestly, the colors are enough.
