“In a mad world, only the mad are sane”

A surreal exploration of political/familial power dynamics in feudal Japan fused with the dramatic flair of Shakespeare; this week we take a look back on Akira Kurosawa’s samurai epic, RAN.

In this episode the boys touch on the legacy and mythos surrounding the timeless director, breakdown the technical and thematic elements of the film, and discuss why this picture is considered one of the greatest pieces of art ever made.
