"Almost a religious experience—an epiphany...A masterpiece.” — The New York Times Translation: Chaos… Resting after a wild boar hunt among spectacular green mountainscapes, a 16th century daimyo (Tatsuya Nakadai) decides to divide his domain among his three sons, instructing them with a parable: individually, three arrows can easily be broken; together, they are strong. Kurosawa's adaptation of Shakespeare’s “King Lear” proved the master's flair for epic sweep and stylistic innovation undimmed at the age of 75. The culmination of his career — clarified Kurosawa, "I said culmination, not conclusion." Four Oscar nominations, including Best Director, Cinematography, and Art Direction, with Emi Wada winning for her dazzling, three-years-in-the-making costumes. dir.
