Shakespeare's King Lear--

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/King_Lear
I just watched the 2018 version--with Anthony Hopkins, Emma Thompson and Emma Watson as King Lear,Goneril and Cordelia--respectively.
I also saw Ran about 30 years ago.
I prefer a young Fool, but version with Hopkins has an old Fool.

This reviewer in Slate likes latest Murakami novel--the walled city--the walled garden.
