    Notes on Subtitling By Linda Hoaglund and Donald Richie

The blood flows in the haunting "Throne Of Blood" (1957), Akira Kurosawa's stunning adaptation of Shakespeare's "Macbeth" set in feudal Japan. Longtime Kurosawa collaborator Toshiro Mifune gives one of his greatest and most gripping performances as a samurai who, while lost in a forest, encounters a ghostly female spirit that predicts his rise to power. However, his brutal ascension will also seal his fateful downfall in this classic tragedy. The incomparable Isuzu Yamada stars as his ruthless wife.
