(Japan, 109 MIN)
Writer: Hideo Oguni, Shinobu Hashimoto, Ryuzo Kikushima, Akira Kurosawa
Director: Akira Kurosawa
Cast: Toshiro Mifune, Isuzu Yamada

Presented by Justin Marks and Rachel Kondo

A vivid, visceral Macbeth adaptation, Throne of Blood, directed by Akira Kurosawa, sets Shakespeare’s definitive tale of ambition and duplicity in a ghostly, fog-enshrouded landscape in feudal Japan. As a hardened warrior who rises savagely to power, Toshiro Mifune gives a remarkable, animalistic performance, as does Isuzu Yamada as his ruthless wife, fuses classical Western tragedy with formal elements taken from Noh theater to create an unforgettable cinematic experience.
