About two months ago, I caught a 40th anniversary screening of Akira Kurosawa's Ran, a feudal Japanese reimagining of William Shakespeare's King Lear and one of the legendary director's most visually striking works. An epic, both historical and filmic, Ran's palpable atmosphere and grandiosity helped solidify what Sucker Punch Productions paid homage to with the art design of Ghost of Tsushima and now Ghost of Yotei, a duology inextricably linked to Kurosawa's influence. Like nearly every shot in Ran, Ghost of Yotei's visual excellence is almost overwhelming.
