The Scottish Play in Japanese
By Jeffrey M. Anderson Buy Throne of Blood on DVD
Based loosely on Macbeth, Throne of Blood is one of Kurosawa's best and arguably the best Shakespeare ever filmed. The bloody showdown with hundreds of arrows flying toward Toshiro Mifune apparently inspired Brian De Palma and the final scene of Scarface. The Criterion Collection released the superb Throne of Blood DVD.
