Akira Kurosawa – A Retrospective
THRONE OF BLOOD
Saturday, September 6th at 7 PM
$16 Public | $10 Members
A vivid, visceral Macbeth adaptation, Throne of Blood, 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 Blood fuses classical Western tragedy with formal elements taken from Noh theater to create an unforgettable cinematic experience. (Japan, 1957, 109 mins, Japanese | Dir. Akira Kurosawa)
