The Cinema Museum in association with Rochester Kino presents a series of classic Japanese cinema films. Curated by Nick Walker, who will introduce the film and lead the post-film discussion.

Throne of Blood (1957), directed by Akira Kurosawa, and starring Toshiro Mifune, Isuzu Yamada.

Kurosawa’s transposition of Shakespeare’s Macbeth to sixteenth-century Japan is immensely successful in capturing the spirit of the original. A truly remarkable film combining beauty and terror to produce a mood of haunting power, Throne of Blood also shows Kurosawa’s familiar mastery of atmosphere, action, and the savagery of war.

Doors open at 18.30, film starts at 19.30.
