Reel History: Ran

A nice little article here on Ran by historian Alex von Tunzelman, who writes a series called ‘reel history’ in the Guardian – essentially reviewing classic historical films from the point of view of a professional historian. I think this is the highest grade she’s given to any major film.

Thanks, Ugetsu! Interestingly, no mention of the arquebus there.

Unlike the article’s author, I really like the Fool! But I can see where someone might find him pretentious.
