Janus Films has bestowed upon us a brand new 4K restoration of Throne Of Blood, the vivid, visceral Macbeth adaptation directed by Akira Kurosawa that can’t be missed on the big screen!
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 Blood fuses classical Western tragedy with formal elements taken from Noh theater to create an unforgettable cinematic experience.
