A truly remarkable film, Throne of Blood manages to combine beauty and terror to produce a mood of truly haunting power. Starring the irrepressible Toshiro Mifune as the doomed warlord Washizu and a wonderfully creepy turn by Isuzu Yamadaas the Lady Macbeth-inspired Asaji, the film shows Kurosawa's familiar mastery of atmosphere and action combined with the savagery of war.

Wenn die Wälder nach Rache dürsten....

In einer dichten, unheimlichen Atmosphäre erzählt Kurosawa vom Aufstieg und Fall eines Samurais. ein Meisterwerk ohne seines gleichen.
