Throne of Blood

Throne of Blood is a film which is supposed to be a japanese remake of MacBeth. It's filmed entirely in black and white which sort of add grittiness to some of the scenes.
There are several scenes in this movie which are made very cleverly according to the thoughts of the characters. For instance, most of the scenes in which Lord Washizu is contemplating about what actions he should take is done in an empty little room. The walls are bare and the room is filled with nothing but emptiness. It really adds a sort of an allure to the mystery of his thinking. The room is also surrounded in shadows which sort of reflects his unsyredness of what to do.
There is also a scene in which Lord Washizu wife goes into a pitch black room in order to receive a "sake" or drink of some sort to give the guards of the Great Lord in order to kil him. Well in the scene the wife goes into the room and slowly becomes engulfed in shadows. It gives a really eerie and dubious feeling to the whole thing. Then she emerges out of the shadows walking ever so slowly. The scene really showcases the evil and dark intentions that are at hand.
The camera angles really usee a lot of close up facial shots to show the anguish or confusion on some of the characters faces. Such as when they are to accept their titles as teh Lord of the North Garison and such. When they see that the prophecy comes to pass the camera angles really facial shots really capture the suspense and reactions of the characters. Other camera angles are ones in which two characters are shown in one scene facing each other. The shots really capture the background of the scene very well but at the same time teh relationship betwen the two characters according to their distance from each other.
Throne of Blood is made and directed well, and to me probably the best on screen version of Macbeth that I have seen.
