A vivid, visceral Macbeth adaptation, Throne of Blood, directed by Akira Kurosawa, sets Shakespeare’s definitive tale of ambition and duplicity in a ghostly, fog-enshrouded landscape in feudal Japan. As a hardened warrior who rises savagely to power, Toshiro Mifune gives a remarkable, animalistic performance, as does Isuzu Yamada as his ruthless wife. Throne of Blood fuses classical Western tragedy with formal elements taken from Noh theater to create an unforgettable cinematic experience.
Throne of Blood Film Synopsis
Returning to their lord's castle, samurai warriors Washizu and Miki are waylaid by a spirit who predicts their futures. When the first part of the spirit's prophecy comes true, Washizu's scheming wife, Asaji, presses him to speed up the rest of the spirit's prophecy by murdering his lord and usurping his place. Director Akira Kurosawa's resetting of William Shakespeare's "Macbeth" in feudal Japan is one of his most acclaimed films.

Scary, brilliant version of MacbethIntense adaption of Macbeth with perhaps the most diabolical depiction of his wife I’ve ever seen. At times feels like a horror film. The finale is justly famous...I think the best ending in all of Kurosawa..Sterling Cooper NYCScore: 5/5

Deutsch Dank des Einsatzes der beiden Hauptmänner Washizu und Miki kann ein Aufstand gegen den Fürsten Tsuzuki niedergeschlagen werden. Auf dem Weg zu Tsuzukis Schloss im Spinnwebwald begegnen die beiden einer mysteriösen Erscheinung, die ihnen prophezeit, dass Washizu schon bald Herr des Schlosses sein wird, ebenso wie später Mikis Sohn. Nach anfänglichen Zweifeln bewahrheiten sich andere Teile der Prophezeiung, wodurch Washizu in einen Konflikt zwischen seiner Loyalität und seinen Ambitionen gerät. Auf Drängen seiner Frau ermordet er schließlich Tsuzuki. Er wird Herr des Spinnweb-Schlosses, aber auch zunehmend von Ängsten und Zweifeln geplagt...
Français Dans le Japon féodal, alors que les guerres civiles font rage, les généraux Washizu et Miki rentrent victorieux chez leur seigneur Tsuzuki. Ils traversent une mystérieuse forêt où ils rencontrent un esprit qui leur annonce leur destinée : Washizu deviendra seigneur du château de l’Araignée, mais ce sera le fils de Miki qui lui succèdera. Troublé par cette prophétie, Washizu se confie à sa femme, Asaji. Celle-ci lui conseille alors de forcer le destin en assassinant Tsuzuki…
Italiano Taketoki Washizu è un nobile a cui viene profetizzata l'ascesa al potere e l'invincibilità fino a quando la foresta non si muoverà verso il suo castello. La profezia si avvera: Washizu, consigliato dalla moglie Asaji, uccide il re ed usurpa il trono, mentre l'amico Miki si impadronisce di un castello. Durante i funerali del re, i guerrieri vengono a conoscenza del delitto e Washizu e Asaji vengono assaliti dai sensi di colpa. Istigato ancora dalla moglie, Washizu esercita ancora di più il suo dispotico potere combattendo contro tutti coloro che lo ostacolano ma, durante un banchetto, l'ombra dell'assassinato gli appare davanti. Intanto una parte del paese si ribella e un esercito marcia contro il castello. Alla fine, Washizu si trova di fronte l'esercito nemico che avanza proteggendosi con i rami degli alberi.

Español Japón feudal, siglo XVI. Adaptación del "Macbeth" de William Shakespeare. Cuando los generales Taketori Washizu y Yoshaki Miki regresan de una victoriosa batalla, se encuentran en el camino con una extraña anciana, que profetiza que Washizu llegará a ser el señor del Castillo del Norte.

Magyar Kurosawa a középkori Japánba helyezte át, de híven követte a Macbeth cselekményét, s formailag bravúros filmet alkotott. A hatalomvágy, a gátlástalanság és a félelem diktálta cselekvések a misztikus horror egységes folyamatává szerveződnek, festői eszközökkel érzékeltetve "azt a filozófiai dilemmát, miszerint az önmegvalósításhoz ambíció szükséges, az pedig gonoszsághoz vihet, és szembefordíthatja az embert embertársaival"
ελληνικά Στην Ιαπωνία του 16ου αιώνα, ένας στρατιωτικός δολοφονεί τον τοπικό άρχοντα, παρακινούμενος από την προφητεία μιας μάγισσας και ανεβαίνει στο θρόνο. Εστεμμένος πλέον, ανοίγει έναν κύκλο αίματος προκειμένου να κρατηθεί στην εξουσία. Η απληστία τον τυφλώνει, τα εγκλήματα συνεχίζονται για τη διατήρηση της εξουσίας, χωρίς όμως ο ήρωας να συνειδητοποιεί ότι απεργάζεται την αυτοκαταστροφή του.
Português O general Washizu e o general Miki perdem-se na floresta e encontram uma bruxa que prevê que Washizu será rei e que será sucedido pelos herdeiros de Miki. É então que Washizu mata o seu senhor, Kuniharu Tsuzuki, e Miki. A bruxa prevê agora que ele estará a salvo enquanto a floresta não se puser em movimento. Mas o filho de Miki ataca o castelo de Washizu, usando as árvores da floresta como camuflagem. O filho de Washizu nasce morto, a sua mulher enlouquece e ele é traído pelos seus homens.

Dansk Throne of Blood er baseret på Shakespeares skuespil Macbeth, men den er så meget mere end bare en almindelig adaptation af det berømte stykke. Historien udspiller sig i Japan under samuraiernes storhedstid. Vi følger en hærleder, som på grund sin kones magtbegær lader sig overtale til at myrde lederen af den selvsamme klan, som han er medlem af. Den slags forræderi betaler sig sjældent, så der går ikke lang tid, før klanens øvrige divisioner rejser sig mod ham, og det hele bliver en kamp om, hvem der nu skal besidde tronen og bestyre klanen.
Polski Adaptacja sztuki Williama Szekspira w reżyserii mistrza kina japońskiego Akiry Kurosawy. Pewien dowódca wojskowy, za namową ambitnej żony, chce wypełnić przepowiednię i zostać władcą Pajęczego Zamku. By osiągnąć swój cel, łamie prawo i dokonuje kolejnych morderstw.

Cuando la primera parte de la profecía del espíritu se hace realidad, la intrigante esposa de Washizu, Asaji, lo presiona para que acelere el resto de la profecía del espíritu asesinando a su señor y usurpando su lugar. La reposición del director Akira Kurosawa de "Macbeth" de William Shakespeare en el Japón feudal es una de sus películas más aclamadas.

Toshiro Mifune swaggers and snarls to brilliant comic effect in Akira Kurosawas tightly paced, beautifully composed Sanjuro. In this sly companion piece to Yojimbo, jaded samurai Sanjuro helps an idealistic group of young warriors weed out their clans evil influences, and in the process turns their image of a proper samurai on its ear. Less brazen in tone than its predecessor but equally entertaining, this classic characters return is a masterpiece in its own right.
The incomparable Toshiro Mifune stars in Akira Kurosawa’s visually stunning and darkly comic Yojimbo. To rid a terror-stricken village of corruption, wily masterless samurai Sanjuro turns a range war between two evil clans to his own advantage. Remade twice, by Sergio Leone and Walter Hill, this exhilarating genre-twister remains one of the most influential and entertaining films of all time.
One of the most thrilling movie epics of all time, Seven Samurai (Shichinin no samurai) tells the story of a sixteenth-century village whose desperate inhabitants hire the eponymous warriors to protect them from invading bandits. This three-hour ride from Akira Kurosawa—featuring legendary actors Toshiro Mifune and Takashi Shimura—seamlessly weaves philosophy and entertainment, delicate human emotions and relentless action, into a rich, evocative, and unforgettable tale of courage and hope.
Toshiro Mifune is unforgettable as Kingo Gondo, a wealthy industrialist whose family becomes the target of a cold-blooded kidnapper in High and Low (Tengoku to jigoku), the highly influential domestic drama and police procedural from director Akira Kurosawa. Adapting Ed McBain’s detective novel King’s Ransom, Kurosawa moves effortlessly from compelling race-against-time thriller to exacting social commentary, creating a diabolical treatise on contemporary Japanese society.
Academy Award-winning director Akira Kurosawa ("The Seven Samurai," "Ran"), whose cinematic genius has inspired such classic films as "Star Wars" and "The Magnificent Seven," presents his 28th, and most personal, film. Visually splendid, Kurosawa's film consists of eight powerful vignettes, one of which features acclaimed director Martin Scorsese as painter Vincent Van Gogh. "Breathtaking... dazzling," says The New York Times.
Shingen, a powerful warlord, has become as legendary as the motto emblazoned on his war banners: "Swift as the wind, silent as the forest, fierce as the fire, immovable as the mountain." As he lies dying from his battle wounds, Shingen orders his clan to find a double to replace him - to keep his death secret so that his enemies will not attack. The man chosen for this role is called kagemusha (the shadow warrior). However this kagemusha turns out to be a petty criminal who must somehow transform himself into a great leader and command the allegiance of 25,000 samurai warriors. An epic drama of feudal conflict in 16th century Japan, "Kagemusha" was nominated for two 1980 Academy Awards® (Art Direction - Set Decoration, Foreign Language Film) and was co-winner of the grand prize at the 1980 Cannes Film Festival. It is a milestone in the career of Akira Kurosawa.
