Re-imagines Shakespeare’s
Macbeth in feudal Japan. An
inspiration for Maqbool as
well.
One critic described it this
way: “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.”
