Throne of Blood in 35mm
January 20 & 24 at 645pm
35MM PRINT! A vivid, visceral Macbeth adaptation, Throne of Blood, directed by Akira Kurosawa, sets Shakespeares 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.
"Akira Kurosawa's remarkable 1957 restaging of Macbeth in samurai and expressionist terms is unquestionably one of his finest works -- charged with energy, imagination, and, in keeping with the subject, sheer horror." Jonathan Rosenbaum
"Kurosawas THRONE OF BLOOD is the grisliest Macbeth youre likely ever to see. Its powerful filmmaking and provides much revelatory cultural frisson. It also features some of the best work of Kurosawas alter ego Toshiro Mifune." Marjorie Baumgarten, Austin Chronicle
