"Because a man without ambitions is not a man." - Asaji Washizu

Throne of Blood (aka Kumonosu-jo) adapts William Shakespeare's play Macbeth for the feudal Japan, in a brilliant story where Toshirô Mifune plays a war general consumed by ambition to become lord after a mysterious encounter with a woman following a victorious battle.

A amazing film no doubt, by many considered the best movie adaptation of Macbeth.
