New restoration of Akira Kurosawas astonishing film thats considered to be one of the great adaptations of Shakespeares Macbeth. A truly remarkable film, Throne of Blood manages to combine beauty and terror to produce a mood of truly haunting power. Starring the irrepressible Toshiro Mifune as the doomed warlord Washizu and a wonderfully creepy turn by Isuzu Yamada as the Lady Macbeth-inspired Asaji, the film shows Kurosawa's familiar mastery of atmosphere and action combined with the savagery of war.ExtrasNewly restored in 4K and presented in High DefinitionAudio commentary by Japanese film expert Michael JeckOther extras tbc
