The Story

A vivid, visceral Macbeth adaptation, THRONE OF BLOOD sets Shakespeare’s definitive tale of ambition and duplicity in a ghostly, fog-enshrouded landscape in feudal Japan. Director Akira Kurosawa fuses classic western tragedy with formal elements taken from Noh theatre to create an unforgettable cinematic experience.
