**Screenwriters**: Shinobu Hashimoto, Ryûzô Kikushima, Akira Kurosawa, Hideo Oguni from William Shakespeare’s *Macbeth* **Producers**: Akira Kurosawa, Sojiro Motoki A vivid, visceral *Macbeth* adaptation, Akira Kurosawa’s *Throne of Blood *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.
