Chris Marker observes the filming of Akira Kurosawa 's epic, Ran.
As 'Sensei', the master, grapples with the logistics of location filming of spectacular battle scenes on the slopes of Mount Fuji, Marker brings his own acute observations on a highly skilled production team and cast at work. Marker shoots the extras as well as the stars and records complex preparations for sequences consigned to the cutting-room floor.
