Throne of Blood
Perhaps the greatest literary adaptation, Kurosawa deftly transplants Shakespeare’s Macbeth to feudal Japan.
Toshiro Mifune stars as General Washizu, obsessed by a witch’s prophecy of power and seduced into murderous action by his wife Asaji. The iconic ending - filled with howls of rage and a hail of arrows - is unforgettable.
