Kinoteka: Kaos

Slovenski opis filma:

Veličastni spektakel japonskega mojstra Akire Kurosave velja za enega največjih filmov vseh časov Fevdalna Japonska. Odločni poglavar klana Hidetora zagreši usodno napako, ko se brez dobrega razloga odreče oblasti, ki jo želi predati enemu od treh sinov. Toda ko izžene edinega, ki je vreden nasledstva, se druga dva ljubosumno spopadeta za prestol, kar povzroči kaos v kraljestvu brez gospodarja. Zgodba izvira iz Shakespearjeve tragedije Kralj Lear, a je preseljena v obdobje silovitih vojnih spopadov na Japonskem v 15. oziroma 16. stoletju. V času nastanka je bil Kaos najdražji film v japonski zgodovini, enemu največjih japonskih režiserjev Akiri Kurosavi je prislužil nominacijo za oskarja. Film je pripravljal deset let, prizore si je pred snemanjem zamislil na slikarskih platnih. Snemanje je trajalo skoraj vse leto, vključevalo je ogromne ekipe statistov in živali, vložena sredstva pa se še posebej kažejo v edinstvenih akcijskih in bojnih sekvencah.
