冒頭に、昭和天皇が登場する。昭和の山村を舞台にした作品であるが、そうではない。戦死したフィアンセを待つ悲恋の物語であるが、そうではない。『あなたにゐてほしい~SOAR~』を見終えたあと観客は「一体全体なんだったの か?」心地よく深い混乱に包まれるであろう。原は、劇映画という括りの中で、ついに独自の世界を構築したのだ。美しい映像と音楽が溢れる原ワールドに身を置き、ゆっくり吟味して欲しい。ゴダールか? フェリーニか? そうではない。展開されるのは、純粋な原 將 人の映画哲学なのである。またある意味『初国知所之天皇』と並んで天皇制を語った系列にも属する。初国復活ロードショーにおいて、処女作『おかしさに彩られた悲しみのバラード』とプログラムに組み込まれた所以である。鈴木清順監督の最後の映画出演作ともなった。

A soldier has been in the Japanese military for the entirety of WWII, and in that time, his dedication to the army has never faltered. However, as the war draws to a close, his commanding officers become increasingly desperate and push their men to ever more absurd extremes. The ridiculousness of the orders from above peak when the hero of the story is assigned to drive a one-man submarine straight into the hull of an enemy battleship.

1991 film by Nobuhiko Ōbayashi

On a Tokyo dump’s shantytown edge, interwoven vignettes follow residents scraping by: a boy who “drives” an imaginary trolley, a homeless father and son designing a dream house, a young woman brutalized at home, drunks, schemers, and saints of small kindnesses. Kurosawa crafts a ragged mosaic of hardship, fantasy, and flickers of grace that keep people moving forward.

1993 film by Akira Kurosawa

A collection of magical tales based upon the actual dreams of director Akira Kurosawa.

Aspiring to an easy job as personal physician to a wealthy family, Noboru Yasumoto is disappointed when his first post after medical school takes him to a small country clinic under the gruff doctor Red Beard. Yasumoto rebels in numerous ways, but Red Beard proves a wise and patient teacher. He gradually introduces his student to the unglamorous side of the profession, ultimately assigning him to care for a prostitute rescued from a local brothel.

With Ran, legendary director Akira Kurosawa reimagines Shakespeare's King Lear as a singular historical epic set in sixteenth-century Japan. Majestic in scope, the film is Kurosawa's late-life masterpiece, a profound examination of the folly of war and the crumbling of one family under the weight of betrayal, greed, and the insatiable thirst for power.
