Throne of Blood

Akira Kurosawa transforms "MacBeth" into an outstanding samurai saga starring Toshiro Mifune as the tragic ruler fated by the forewarnings of three witches. Soaked in eerie atmosphere and brimming with horrific imagery, Kurosawa's first stab at Shakespeare revels in "sound and fury" worthy of the Bard. Also stars Isuzu Yamada, Takashi Shimura. 110 min. Standard; Soundtrack: Japanese; Subtitles: English. In Japanese with English subtitles. Region Free
