Akira Kurosawa's version of "Macbeth"; THRONE OF BLOOD is surely the best adaptation. I would place this film just behind RASHOMON (1950) in my pantheon of Kurosawa favourites. Toshiro Mifune gives his usual brilliant performance, but it is Isuzu Yamada who is the most memorable. The star of the show, however, is the mood ... which stays with you throughout the film, starting with our chilling encounter with the witch.
