+ `Kumonosu jo `__, 1957.
(Also known as *Throne of Blood*.) Directed by Akira Kurosawa, written
by Shinobu Hashimoto, Ryuzo Kikushima, Akira Kurosawa, and Hideo
Oguni, and starring ToshirĂ´ Mifune. Akira Kurosawa's reworking of
*Macbeth* is interesting, but not as compelling as `Yojimbo
`__ or `Shichinin no samurai
`__. Again, from IFC's Samurai
Saturday.
