Minisode 7: Film Club - Kurosawa Does Shakespeare
Update: 2021-12-17
Description
In this film club minisode, Will and James talk about what happens when two great masters collide in director Akira Kurosawa's adaptations of Shakespeare to the samurai epics of medieval Japan. Kurosawa's adaptation of "Macbeth" in his moody and gore-spattered "Throne of Blood" in 1957 and "King Lear" in his vivid, colorful 1985 masterpiece "Ran" are classics that take the Bard's plots and characters and mix them with katanas, castles, and visual spectacle beyond belief. // Credits // Intro Music: Jon Sayles, "The Witches' Dance" (composed by anonymous); Outro Music: Jon Sayles, “Saltarello” (composed by anonymous)
