Toshiro Mifune interpreta um general endurecido que cumpre uma obscura profecia de subir ao poder na releitura de Macbeth, de Shakespeare, feita por Akira Kurosawa no Japão feudal.

One of the finest Shakespeare on-screen adaptations, this ghostly epic from Akira Kurosawa defeats categorisation. Tackling some of the original key motifs such as loyalty, betrayal, and superstition, Throne of Blood boldly reshapes Macbeth within the context of medieval Japan.
