synopsis

Academy Award-winning epic, intertwining Japanese history around Shakespeare's plot from 'King Lear'. Set in 16th century Japan. An aging warlord decides to split his kingdom between his three sons, who will live in three separate castles. The two eldest sons are quite happy, but the youngest thinks his father has gone mad, and predicts that it won't be long until the two older brothers are fighting with each other.
