anybody seen kurosawa's "throne of blood?" i was just talking about it with someone earlier today, and i was curious what some of yall had to say. i'm big on kurosawa, but i have yet to watch it; i expect it's got all his classic elements, so i know it'll be good.

Hmmm, haven't heard of it either, but yes, I consider Kurosawa to be one of the premiere movie directors of the 20th century.

yeah, i've never been disappointed by anything kurosawa has done. by the way, "throne of blood" is his rendition of shakespeare's "macbeth," and since i liked "ran," which was his rendition of "king lear," i figured "throne" would be good too...
