Akira Kurosawa’s remarkable 1957 restaging of Macbeth in samurai and expressionist terms is unquestionably one of his finest workscharged with energy, imagination, and, in keeping with the subject, sheer horror. Incidentally, this was reputed to have been T.S. Eliot’s favorite film. With Toshiro Mifune and Isuzu Yamada. In Japanese with subtitles. 110 min. (JR)
