In 1985, Chris Marker traveled to Japan to attend the filming of Ran, directed by Akira Kurosawa. Marker analyzes the progress of filming; the infinite patience of a team under the orders of a meticulous director down to the smallest detail; the antithetical mixture of the modern with the traditional; of the real with the fictitious; of life with cinema… and literature.

VIBE

A patient, meditative gaze into the meticulous craft of filmmaking. It feels like a quiet, respectful immersion into the creative process, blending the real and the cinematic with a deep appreciation for artistry.
