THRONE OF BLOOD

THRONE OF BLOOD(1957)

Directed by: Akira Kurasawa

Starring: Toshiro Mifune


A magnificent film. It's based on Shakespeare's Macbeth. And without having seen or read Macbeth, this film definitely stands on its own. This is a great story about a man whose lust for power and weakness for his wife turn out to be a recipe for disaster. The film also contains a fantasy element, there are ghosts, yes, ghosts! Great acting from Mifune, in addition to one of the most memorable endings ever filmed.

A must-see.
