I think in terms of Shakespeare adaption, Ran is much better than this one, but this is a really fine film. Poetry in motion, but not as epic as Ran.

This is the film that Ian Curtis watched before his suicide. The dancing chicken. Aren't we the dancing chicken? Another existentialism film, in my opinion. Or a documentary of foreigners-living-in-America. This is both funny and extremely depressing.
