Akira Kurosawa was almost blind when he directed his biggest movie, in 1985, and yet its possibly his most beautiful. A sumptuous and powerful epic inspired by, but not directly based on, King Lear, it tells the story of a powerful warlord whose three sons, bad eggs all, contribute to his downfall. Moving, and packed with images that sear themselves onto the brain, its an astonishing work from an old master. Also, this greatest of directors was nominated foe the Best Director Academy Award for the only time...... Surprising... imdb/title/tt0089881/
