Akira Kurosawa’s adaptation of William Shakespeare’s “Macbeth” clearly resonated with Guillermo del Toro, as he listed the Japanese film as his favorite movie in 2010. While there are no monsters to be found in the film, it’s not exactly realism either, and its foggy, mysterious setting helps keep the focus on the darkness that exists inside the human mind. Considering that, it’s not surprising that the “Nightmare Alley” director would enjoy it.
