乱
Set in sixteenth-century Japan, an aging warlord named Hidetora Ichimonji decides to abdicate his throne and divide his kingdom among his three sons. This singular act of governance triggers a catastrophic descent into betrayal, civil war, and madness. Reimagining Shakespeare's King Lear as a grand historical epic, the film is celebrated for its meticulously choreographed battles, painterly use of color, and an evocative score, capturing the tragic collapse of a powerful dynasty with breathtaking visual intensity.
