Today’s lone arrival is Studio Canal’s British Blu-ray of Akira Kurosawa’s “Ran.” The most expensive film in Japanese history at the time it was made, this palace intrigue is said to have drawn inspiration from Shakespeare’s “King Lear” as well as the 16th century Japanese feudal lord Mōri Motonari. The two Blu-ray set houses the 162 min. film on one disc with a single 9 minute feature about its restoration, saving the rest of set’s copious extras (nearly five hours’ worth) for Disc #2.
