RAN Movie Trailer HD - Plot synopsis: In Medieval Japan, an elderly warlord retires, handing over his empire to his three sons.
However, he vastly underestimates how the new-found power will corrupt them & cause them to turn on each other... and him.
Thirty years after its original release, Studiocanal decided to restore Ran in 4K in collaboration with Japanese company Kadokawa.
The original 1985 production was a French-Japanese collaboration and now 30 years later, Studiocanal & Kadokawa replicated this partnership to restore the film.
Ran has been restored in 4K by French laboratory Éclair, under Studiocanal's supervision.
Based on the original negative, the majority of the restoration work was done manually, image by image.
Color grading was approved by Masaharu Ueda – one of Ran's three cinematographers and a close associate of Kurosawa's.
Ran, also known as simply 乱 in Japanese, is directed by the legendary Japanese maestro filmmaker Akira Kurosawa.
