...well as preserving the wild atmosphere of the original. When Macbeth returns from murdering the King, Lady Macbeth must pry his clenched fingers off the bloody spear--and it is with such moments that Kurosawa shows the eloquence of simple action. The classic scenes and images neither fall flat nor stick out as irrelevant set-pieces. The haggish forest spirit who replaces the Weird Sisters is as eery as they, with her boomy, slowed-down voice.

Now he bedevils his teen-age daughter (played by Sinatra's own daughter Nancy) and deplores his rakish company vice president (Martin), an aging torn whose bachelor flat is strewn with molted bikinis...
...skinned rabbit on a platter become objects of dread. An oppressive silence is broken only by the buzzing of flies, dripping water, a ticking clock. Rooms change shape, the mere flip of a light switch creates fissures in the walls, a phantom ravisher begins to stalk the tiny flat...
