Throne of Blood
Time for the castle of their lord, samurai warriors Washizu and Miki are waylaid by a spirit who predicts their futures. After the very initial part of the prophecy of the spirit comes true, Washizu's scheming wife, Asaji, presses him to speed up the remaining portion of the prophecy of the spirit by usurping his place and murdering his lord. Director Akira Kurosawa's re setting of William Shakespeare's"Macbeth" in feudal Japan is just one of his most acclaimed films.
