Throne of Blood
AKIRA KUROSAWA RESTORED CLASSICS! 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. THRONE OF BLOOD fuses classical western tragedy with formal elements taken from Noh theatre to create an unforgettable cinematic experience.
