The West in the East

Since we're looking at Freud next week in regards to the East, I thought I'd post a clip of Akira Kurosawa's Throne of Blood, which sets Shakespeare's Macbeth in medieval Japan. Although this clip is just the trailer, it does show the Lady Macbeth character as EXTREMELY calm and calculated while she hands the Macbeth character his weapon. Also, the witch is androgynous.
