Throne of Blood
No upcoming showtimes scheduled.
Director: Akira Kurosawa
1957 / 110min / 35mm
A vivid, visceral Macbeth adaptation like no other, Throne of Blood 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, as Kurosawa fuses classical Western tragedy with formal elements taken from Noh theater to create an unforgettable, category-defying cinematic experience, and incidentally T.S Eliot's favorite film.
