I don't know of any other Japanese versions of Macbeth, but Kurosawa's Ran is based on King Lear.<br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">On 9/26/07, <b class="gmail_sendername">Jerry Turner</b> <<a href="mailto:jdturner1@gmail.com">

I have a short film adaptation paper due soon. The assignment is to discuss two filmed versions of one play by Shakespeare. It's just a small comparison paper, so I will probably just focus on one or two scenes in particular and how they are done in both films.
<br><br>I really love Kurosawa's Throne of Blood, but don't know of any other Japanese adaptations of Macbeth. If anyone knows of another good Japanese film based on Macbeth (even if it's loosely based) please let me know. Otherwise, if you know of a pair of good film adaptations based on Shakespeare's work I would be most grateful.
<br><br>Thanks!<br>
