Thone of Blood (A Requisite Cinema Screening) / Japan/ 1957/ Dir: Akira Kurosawa/ 109 Min/ Current Rotten Tomatoes Score: 96%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.
Throne of Blood is screening as part of an ongoing Requisite Cinema spotlight showcasing Janus Films' 2025 restoration work of many of Akira Kurosawa's most celebrated works. Check Broadwaytheatre.ca for more titles!
