Throne of Blood isAkira Kurosawa'sre-telling of Shakespeare's Macbeth, transposing the action to sixteenth century Japan.
A truly remarkable film, Throne of Blood manages to combine beauty and terror to produce a mood of truly haunting power. Starring the irrepressibleToshiro Mifuneas the doomed warlord Washizu and a wonderfully creepy turn byIsuzu Yamadaas the Lady Macbeth-inspired Asaji, the film shows Kurosawa's familiar mastery of atmosphere and action combined with the savagery of war.
