''Kumonosu Jō'' (''Spiderweb Castle''), distributed with the English title ''Throne of Blood'', is [[Akira Kurosawa]]'s version of ''[[Macbeth]]''. Kurosawa fuses [[Shakespeare]]'s plot with elements from Noh theater, and sets the story at an unspecified time and place in [[Jidai Geki|Sengoku-era Japan]]. The [[No Man of Woman Born|Macduff]] subplot is left out, leading to a different, but more thematic end for the Macbeth figure. |
