Throne of Blood
Returning to the castle of their lord, samurai warriors Washizu and Miki are waylaid. After the very initial region of the prophecy of the spirit comes true, Washizu's scheming wife presses him to speed up the rest of the prophecy of the spirit by usurping his place and murdering his god. Director Akira Kurosawa's re-setting of William Shakespeare's"Macbeth" in feudal Japan is one of his most acclaimed films.
