Throne of Blood

Throne of Blood (Kumonosu jô). Akira Kurosawa, 1957.

😸

Edition screened: Criterion Blu-ray #190, released 2014. Japanese language with English subtitles. Runtime approximately 149 minutes.


Summary: No particular depictions of violence or harm to animals. A scattered rain of arrows targets men on horseback but there is no depiction of the horses being hit or hurt.


I consider this moody adaptation of Macbeth one of Kurosawa’a best films.
