Throne Of Blood
Directed by Akira Kurosawa
1957 | Japan | 104 mins | B&W
Kurosawa's transposition of Shakespeare's Macbeth to sixteenth-century Japan is immensely successful in capturing the spirit of the original. A truly remarkable film combining beauty and terror to produce a mood of haunting power, Throne Of Blood also shows Kurosawa's familiar mastery of atmosphere, action, and the savagery of war. "…possibly the finest Shakespearean adaptation ever committed to the screen." The Guardian
