Experience Akira Kurosawa's masterpiece "Throne of Blood" in the intimate setting of The Beverly Theater.

Kurosawa's striking visual style and Toshiro Mifune's powerful performance as the warrior Washizu combine to create one of cinema's most compelling adaptations of Shakespeare's work.
The Beverly Theater's exceptional acoustics and comfortable seating provide the perfect environment to appreciate this classic film's atmospheric cinematography and dramatic score. This screening offers both longtime Kurosawa admirers and newcomers to classic cinema the chance to see one of the most influential films of world cinema on the big screen, where its stark black-and-white imagery can be fully appreciated.
