MacBeth is not one of my favorite Shakespeare plays, which is probably why I didn’t love this movie. It was, however, so well made. The fog is so beautiful around the epic sets and really great directing by Kurosawa. Toshiro Mifune and Isuzu Yamada give such deep and powerful performances as well. I loved the make-up and costuming for Asaji — the makeup on her face whitens her face, removes her eyebrows, and adds two streaks on her temple which (to me) resemble horns. She subtly looks like a demon in women’s clothing. The arrows at the end are also AMAZING.
