Description: Throne of Blood by Robert N. Watson Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description Throne of Blood (1957), Akira Kurosawas reworking of Macbeth, is widely considered the greatest film adaptation of Shakespeare ever made.In a detailed account of the film, Robert N. Watson explores how Kurosawa draws key philosophical and psychological arguments from Shakespeare, translates them into striking visual metaphors, and inflects them through the history of post-World War II Japan. Watson places particular emphasis on the contexts that underlie the films central tension between individual aspiration and the stability of broader social and ecological collectives - and therefore between free will and determinism.In his foreword to this new edition, Robert Watson considers the central characters Washizu and his wife Asajis blunder in viewing life as a ruthless competition in which only the most brutal can thrive in the context of an era of neoliberal economics, resurgent strongman political leaders, and myopic views of the environmenal crisis, with nothing valued that cannot be monetized.

He is the author of many award-winning books, including Back to Nature: The Green and the Real in the Late Renaissance (2006) and Shakespeare and the Hazards of Ambition (2004), and editor of several volumes of Ben Jonsons plays.
