Throne Of : The Criterion Collection
A vivid, visceral Macbeth adaptation, Throne of , 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 fuses classical Western tragedy with formal elements taken from Noh theater to create an unforgettable cinematic experience.
