Throne of Blood: RRP 19.99 
Kurosawa, Akira
Kurosawa's transposition of Shakespeare's Macbeth to sixteenth-century Japan is immensely successful in capturing the spirit of the original. A truly remarkable film combining beauty and terror to produce a mood of haunting power, Throne of Blood also shows Kurosawa's familiar mastery of atmosphere, action, and the savagery of war.

'...possibly the finest Shakespearean adaptation ever committed to the screen.' The Guardian

'Kabuki Macbeth ... like nothing you've ever seen. This is film-making with risk and greatness in its blood.' The Movie Guide
