Red Beard
A testament to the goodness of humankind, Akira Kurosawa's 'Red Beard' chronicles the tumultuous relationship between an arrogant young doctor and a compassionate clinic director. Toshiro Mifune, in his last role for Kurosawa, gives a powerhouse performance as the dignified director who teaches his embittered intern to appreciate the lives of his destitute patients. Perfectly capturing the look and feel of 19th century Japan, Kurosawa weaves a fascinating tapestry of time, place and emotion.
