Hayao Miyazaki’s debut feature revisits a character he directed for television―gentleman thief Lupin the 3rd. Grandson to Maurice Leblanc’s French literary master thief Arsène Lupin, Lupin the 3rd is a Swinging Sixties-style, James Bond-like charmer who steals for thrills. Stuck with counterfeit bills after a Monaco casino heist, Lupin and his sidekicks hightail it to the mysterious principality of Cagliostro to find the source of the fake money. In the process, the trio becomes embroiled in palace intrigue between Count Cagliostro and Princess Clarisse. An energetic caper, Lupin the 3rd: The Castle of Cagliostro is a stylish start to a brilliant oeuvre.

An adaptation of Shakespeare’s Macbeth, this jidai-geki, or period drama, set in feudal Japan, is part of a loose trilogy with <a href="/programs/detail/the-lower-depths-in-35-mm-019c064b-5bcb-9df8-5424-65decc456d57">The Lower Depths </a>(1957, screening Sunday, April 19) and <a href="/programs/detail/the-hidden-fortress-in-35-mm-019c064c-8eb1-23fa-9df5-1a936093f4b2">The Hidden Fortress</a> (1958, screening Thursday, April 23). Shakespeare’s plays were translated for Japanese readers as early as 1868, though they were banned during World War II for not being original Japanese works; Kurosawa wanted to take on the challenge of adapting a British story to a Japanese sensibility. With staging based in traditional Noh drama and visual design inspired by Musha-e warrior paintings, Kurosawa created what he considered one of his most experimental works.
