Double, double, toil and trouble. Part of a larger, ongoing art exhibition, this presentation of Shakespeare on Film: Throne of Blood positions the violent and ghostly drama Macbeth in feudal Japan. As a warrior rises to power amidst a backdrop of sorcery, scheming and murder, supernatural elements drive him to madness. This Akira Kurosawa-directed adaptation takes liberties with the original story, but legendary book critic Harold Bloom called this the most successful film adaptation of Macbeth. Kurosawa-stalwart Toshiro Mifune plays the lead and Isuzu Yamata shines in a powerful role as his villainous wife.
