Is this the greatest screen adaptation of Shakespeare? Kurosawa’s take on Macbeth is the thrilling work of a director at the height of his powers.
Set in a bloody feudal era, drawing heavily on the Noh style of drama and making the most of locations around Mount Fuji.
Kurosawa favourite actor Toshiro Mifune plays the ambitious warlord whose extraordinary death scene lingers in the memory long after the film is finished.
The Fri 4 July 17:40 screening will be introduced by season co-curator Jojo Myers-Insole.
