WUD Film presents a screening of Throne of Blood (1957)!

Japan | 110 min | NR | DCP | Dir. Akira Kurosawa

"A war-hardened general, egged on by his ambitious wife, works to fulfill a prophecy that he would become lord of Spider's Web Castle." - IMDb

"One of the best Shakespearean adaptations ever made, and that Kurosawa topped himself by helming the brilliant King Lear-inspired Ran 28 years later only cements the fact that he will always be heralded as one of the greats." - Matt Brunson (Film Frenzy)
