Kurosawa's harsh, strenuous, intensely physical rendition of a Shakespeare classic. The tragedy of Macbeth is located amidst cats-and-dogs forest rainfall, impenetrable fog banks, and wind storms sweeping across dusty hills; and it is given an unforgettable, hair-raising finale in which Toshiro Mifune's carefully padded body absorbs a hailstorm of arrows shot from just off-screen by expert archers. (1957) — Duncan Shepherd
