Throne of Blood

Date: Thursday, April 14, 2011
Time: 6:30 PL
Place: Henry Madden Library, room 2206

Throne of Blood (1957)


In conjunction with “Lethal Beauty: Samurai Weapons and Armor” exhibition

One of the most celebrated screen adaptations of Shakespeare, Akira Kurosawa’s film reimagines Macbeth in feudal Japan. Starring Kurosawa’s longtime collaborator Toshiro Mifune and the legendary Isuzu Yamada as his ruthless wife, the film tells the tale of a valiant warrior’s savage rise to power and his ignominious fall. Kurosawa fuses one of Shakespeare’s greatest tragedies with the formal elements of Japanese Noh theater to make a Macbeth that is all his own-a classic tale of ambition and duplicity set against a ghostly landscape of fog and inescapable doom. Criterion film version, in Japanese with English subtitles. 109 minutes.

Discussant: Kerry Yo Nakagawa
Co-sponsors: Henry Madden Library & Japanese Students Association
