The film"s page
Washizu et Miki, deux samouraïs, rentrent victorieux de bataille quand, perdus dans la forêt de l’araignée, se dresse devant eux une sorcière. A Washizu, la créature maléfique promet un grand avenir et la tête du Château de l’Araignée. A Miki, quant à lui, elle prédit que la fin du règne de Washizu venu, ces enfants prendront sa succession. Sous l’influence d’Asaji, son épouse enceinte, Washizu, se laisse dévorer par l’ambition : une fois arrivé au Château, il assassine le seigneur et s’accapare de son trône. Mais si Asaji est prête à tous les crimes et à se débarrasser de quiconque s’opposera à leur pouvoir, Washizuh, conscient d’avoir braver la prophétie de la sorcière, s’enfonce dans la culpabilité et la folie.
Note : Le Château de l’araignée est une transposition dans le Japon féodal du XVIème siècle, de la pièce de théâtre Macbeth, écrite par William Shakespeare en 1606.
