A blog about preservationist breeding of Azawakh, one of the world's last remaining canine landraces...

my favorite performance...
...by any actor in any film I have ever seen is that of MIEKO HARADA as Lady Kaede in Akira Kurosawa's legendary "Ran" (1985).
"Aah, Lady Kaede, how could I forget you? Your absolute stillness and grace, your glacial beauty, your pathological hatred of the Ichimonji clan. She really is a great character, the sibilant whip-wheep sound of her silk robes is nearly as terrifying as Asami's 'ichi ichi ichi' in Audition."
(an excerpt from a blog post about the character of Lady Kaede)
