Throne Of Blood (1957)

Sanshiro’s Boys return for Tim’s very first Akira Kurosawa movie: Throne Of Blood from 1957. This extraordinary adaptation of Macbeth transposes Shakespeare to feudal Japan through heavy fog and forests. Toshiro Mifune owns the screen as he descends into madness, as does Isuzu Yamada playing the rare Kurosawa villainess - Lady Asaji. The first of many large scale looks at the ancient armies of Japan’s past, this fusion of East and West is one not to be missed!
