Three decades after its initial release, Kurosawa's “Ran” gets a new edition after being restored in 4k condition.
The adaptation of Shakespeare's “King Lear”, remains enchanting and invariant even after all those years, as a true masterpiece should be.
Here is the stunning trailer that accompanies the restoration and re-release of the film, on DVD and Blu-ray, by StudioCanal:
My name is Panos Kotzathanasis and I am Greek. Being a fan of Asian cinema and especially of Chinese kung fu and Japanese samurai movies since I was a little kid, I cultivated that love during my adolescence, to extend to the whole of SE Asia.
Starting from my own blog in Greek, I then moved on to write for some of the major publications in Greece, and in a number of websites dealing with (Asian) cinema, such as Taste of Cinema, Hancinema, EasternKicks, Chinese Policy Institute, and of course, Asian Movie Pulse. in which I still continue to contribute.
In the beginning of 2017, I launched my own website, Asian Film Vault, which I merged in 2018 with Asian Movie Pulse, creating the most complete website about the Asian movie industry, as it deals with almost every country from East and South Asia, and definitely all genres.
