[PAR] [TLE] Ran (film) [SEP] Ran (乱, Japanese for "chaos") is a 1985 period tragedy directed, edited and co-written by Akira Kurosawa as an adaptation of Shakespeare's tragedy "King Lear".  It is a Japanese-French venture produced by Herald Ace, Nippon Herald Films and Greenwich Film Productions.  The film stars Tatsuya Nakadai as Hidetora Ichimonji, an aging "Sengoku"-era warlord who decides to abdicate as ruler in favor of his three sons.  The film is an adaptation of the Shakespearean tragedy "King Lear", and includes segments based on legends of the "daimyō" Mōri Motonari. [PAR] [TLE] A.K. (film) [SEP] A.K. is a 1985 French documentary film directed by Chris Marker about the Japanese director Akira Kurosawa.  Though it was filmed while Kurosawa was working on "Ran", the film focuses more on Kurosawa's remote but polite personality than on the making of the film.  The film is sometimes seen as being reflective of Marker's fascination with Japanese culture, which he also drew on for one of his best-known films, "Sans Soleil".  The film was screened in the Un Certain Regard section at the 1985 Cannes Film Festival.
