A.K. is a 1985 French documentary film directed by
Chris Marker about the Japanese director
Akira Kurosawa. Though it was filmed while Kurosawa was working on
Ran, the film focuses more on Kurosawa's remote but polite personality than on the making of the film. The film is sometimes seen as being reflective of Marker's fascination with
Japanese culture, which he also drew on for one of his best-known films,
Sans Soleil. The film was screened in the
Un Certain Regard section at the
1985 Cannes Film Festival.
