Ran from 1985 is Akira Kurosawa's award winning adaptation of Shakespeare's King Lear. It is a beautiful looking and deeply psychological reworking of the Shakespearean classic set in the Japanese Sengoku period.
For a more traditional version of King Lear, check out this version from 1983, although produced for television, it is still quite good, and it marks Laurence Olivier's final screen appearance in a Shakespearean role.
