RAN

Original German 33 inch x 46 inch Poster for the 1985 Akira Kurosawa Japanese Samurai Drama RAN, based on the play “King Lear” by William Shakespeare and starring Tatsuya Nakadai, Akira Terao, Jinpachi Nezu, Daisuke Ryu, Peter, Mieko Harada and Yoshiko Miyazaki.

With Ran, legendary director Akira Kurosawa reimagines Shakespeare’s King Lear as a singular historical epic set in sixteenth-century Japan. Majestic in scope, the film is Kurosawa’s late-life masterpiece, a profound examination of the folly of war and the crumbling of one family under the weight of betrayal, greed, and the insatiable thirst for power

The poster design is by Benjamin Baltimore.

The poster is in very good folded condition with a pinhole in each corner.
