Ghost Of Tsushima: 10 Samurai Films You MUST Watch After Finishing The Story

Western directors may have taken major inspiration from Kurosawa's works, but the Japanese director was also heavily influenced by Hollywood and western literature. Throne of Blood saw the director try his hand at retelling the story of Macbeth. Released only three years after Seven Samurai, this film cemented Akira Kurosawa as one of the best directors in the world.

Much like the original Macbeth, this film focuses on greed and the depths people will go to in order to attain their goals.

Boasting a supernatural tone, this film uses Kurosawa's directorial eye in interesting ways to create a unique atmosphere. A fantastic story and stunning visuals are utilised in this movie to make a compelling cinematic experience that delves into the consequences of desire.
