Since you are here, we would like to share our vision for the future of travel – and the direction Culture Trip is moving in. The end result is a monumental achievement in world cinema, with battle scenes so vivid that you can almost smell the blood, sweat and gunpowder. So huge were the demands of making the film that when Kurosawa’s wife of 39 years, Yoko Yaguchi, died during filming, the great director only took one day off to mourn before resuming production. The director was given special permission to film at ancient castles at Meiji and Kumamoto and he even built a castle on the slopes of Mount Fuji, only to burn it down during the film’s final scene. The battle sequences made use of 200 horses, and more than 1,400 uniforms and sets of armour were handcrafted by artisans for the production. Kurosawa was no stranger to widescreen epics, but he digs extra deep in this sprawling beast of a film, which would sit comfortably alongside the all-time great war movies. A baroque riff on Shakespeare’s King Lear, it tells the story of ruler Hidetora Ichimonji, who decides to divide his kingdom among his three sons only for a brutal power struggle to ensue. Ran was the most expensive Japanese film ever produced at the time of its release, with a budget of more than $12 million. ![]()
