For his 27th film, the
sensei
of Japanese cinema, Akira Kurosawa, transposes Shakespeare`s KING LEAR to feudal Japan. RAN, which translates as
chaos
or
turmoil,
is the tragic tale of Lord Hidetora, a warlord who decides to divide his empire among his three sons on the eve of his 70th birthday. However, Hidetora`s youngest and most compassionate son, Saburo, defiantly objects to this hasty decision and is disowned by the proud, stubborn ruler. Once the two eldest sons take control of the empire, they quickly turn on their father and begin vying for total control over the land. As Hidetora is banished from his own kingdom in a bloody battle, he must confront the consequences of his violent, ruthless past. Ten years in the making, RAN represents the culmination of Kurosawa`s career by revisiting his skill at adapting Shakespeare, as evidenced in THRONE OF BLOOD, and displaying the cinematic splendor of his other landmark films such as SEVEN SAMURAI and RASHOMON. With its magnificent costumes, breathtaking settings, and amazingly photographed battle sequences, the film is truly stunning. An epic on the grandest of scales, RAN is not only one of Kurosawa`s finest films, it is a glorious masterpiece of Japanese cinema.

BAD COMPANY (MAUVAISES FREQUENTATIONS) is a tough-as-nails coming of age story from director Jean-Pierre Ameris. Delphine (Maud Forget) is a pretty brunette with a sweet, shy, cooperative disposition. When she returns to high school after summer vacation, a new girl named Olivia (Lou Doillon) has joined her class. Olivia is tall and sexy with long dreadlocks and a bold, bohemian fashion sense. The girls are instantly drawn to each other and Olivia begins taking Delphine to parties to meet guys. Much more experienced than wide-eyed Delphine, Olivia has had multiple sexual partners and encourages Delphine to find out what it's all about. Delphine instantly falls in love with Laurent (Robinson Stevenin) who is ragged, emotionally charged, and needy. He tries to manipulate Delphine and constantly tests her limits, but she stands her ground and commits herself to loving him unconditionally. Once he realizes this, and sees the power he has over her, he coerces Delphine--and Olivia--into prostituting themselves in order to buy him a plane ticket to Jamaica. What follows is an intense, emotional, sickening journey made entirely compelling by Forget's breathtaking performance and piercingly sincere blue eyes. Underneath its nasty, but amusing, teen nightmare veneer, BAD COMPANY is a beautiful story about a lasting friendship between two girls.DVD Features:Region 0Keep CaseWidescreen - 1.85Additional Release Material: TrailersInteractive Features: Scene Access Interactive Menus
