«Samurai Lear?» is the academic essay by Karl Gorringe, published by Edições Nosso Conhecimento in paperback (108 pages, in Portuguese).
The essay analyses Ran, by Akira Kurosawa, and its relationship with Shakespeare's King Lear: against studies that treat it mainly as an adaptation of the playwright's work, Gorringe places it in its Japanese cultural and cinematic context, as a samurai film, and assesses how much Shakespeare really influenced the film.
It bears the subtitle «A intertextualidade transcultural de Ran de Akira Kurosawa», was published in 2020 and is Karl Gorringe's first book.
Due to its academic approach, it is aimed at film scholars and those interested in Kurosawa and Shakespeare adaptations.
