Macbeth with samurai

Date of Review:  Oct 8, 2003
The Bottom Line: The best Kurosawa film that I've seen yet, as well as one of the greatest films ever made.
Review: You may have noticed that in my previous reviews for a Kurosawa film I've compared his films favorably to the films that he was to later influence. This is because Akira Kurosawa is a director who has influenced a large portion of the films you may...

Something Wicked This Way Comes: Kurosawa's Throne Of Blood

Date of Review:  Jun 15, 2004
The Bottom Line: Who would have thought the Bottom Line had so much blood in him?
Review: I spent much of May teaching "Hamlet" to a Grade 12 English class. After getting over the cognitive dissonance that it was me teaching them about the Bard, and his great Danish prince, we had much fun dissecting the play's many themes, enjoying the...

Shakespeare's Macbeth Goes Samurai in Kurosawa's Throne of Blood

Date of Review:  Nov 25, 2007
The Bottom Line: Throne of Blood is an Eerie, Provocative Take on Shakespeare's Macbeth by Akira Kurosawa w/ a Mesmerizing Performance from Toshiro Mifune.
Review: While Akira Kurosawa has been known for putting a lot of elements from other worlds into his films, notably samurai movies. His love for American westerns and such helped reinvent the samurai picture, notably his 1954 masterpiece The Seven Samurai...

Throne of Blood (1957)

Date of Review:  Dec 8, 1999
Review: "The Seven Samurai" is generally considered to be Kurosawa's best work. But my favorite film from the Japanese director is his inspiration from Shakespeare's "Macbeth", "Throne of Blood". Adapted to feudal Japan, it is the story of the rise and fall...

Macbeth--Japanese Style

Date of Review:  Jan 28, 2004
The Bottom Line: This is an interesting version of Macbeth--give it a try.
Review: The movie Throne of Blood is based on Shakespeare's Macbeth, only it features Samurai. This movie is by the director of Seven Samurai and also stars Toshiro Mifune ( Kikuchiyo in Seven Samurai). It's a black and white movie from 1957 that has...

A chilling take on Macbeth

Date of Review:  Sep 28, 2000
Review: Time for me to carve one more notch on my Kurosawa stick. I just saw Throne of Blood, Akira Kurosawa's adaptation of Shakespeare's Macbeth, for the first time this past weekend, and like every Kurosawa movie I get around to seeing, this one grabbed...

Throne of Blood a.k.a. Spider's Web Castle

Date of Review:  Sep 16, 2007
The Bottom Line: Awesome Kurosawa version of Macbeth. Samurai style with mythology.
Review: One of my favorite Akira Kurosawa films, Throne of Blood (with its better title Spider's Web Castle) is a Japanese version of Shakespeare's MacBeth by the brilliant Asian filmmaker. I didn't know it was a cinematic version of MacBeth until after...

Excellent Delineation

Date of Review:  Nov 9, 2000
Review: After reading MacBeth, I was delighted to discover that Kurosawa's film, The Throne of Blood, was an adaptation of the Shakespearean tragedy. Throne of Blood kept me on the edge of my seat, and although certain parts, such as the witch's chant and...
