There’s an explanation for this image, but please indulge me. I want to post it right as it is.
Yesterday I linked the concrete, today the intimate: Rikki Kasso’s Tokyo Undressed (warning: some photos have lingerie, nipples, pubic hair).

The trailer for Akira Kurosawa’s Throne of Blood. Put simply, the best Shakespeare film adaptation (since it’s an adaptation of MacBeth), and high on my Best Movie Ever shortlist. No cinematic moment gives me the goosebumps as much as that ending. Makes Arthur Penn, the guy who shot that ending to Bonnie and Clyde, look like a wuss.
