Plus, he isn't exactly too keen on Red Beard's "dictator" like rules. Where would a Kurosawa film be without those torrential downpours to remind us of the physical discomfiture that a journey towards enlightenment entails. He becomes arrogant, and tries to break all the rules on purpose, so Red beard will send him away. Nevertheless it is full of wonderfully contrasted sequences from the knockabout humour of Mifune applying his medical skills to warding off a group of assailants by breaking their limbs like matchsticks to the tender scene of the young doctor being nursed back from sickness by the girl rescued from enslavement in a brothel. As good a director as he was, Kurosawa sometimes let his keenness to get a point across undermine the quality of his films. Likewise, other secondary actors beautifully portrayed a folk who live in poverty. I think this film should be at least one of the first three of such a list!

It was the last of his period costume dramas (excluding Ran and Kagemusha, though these were more of a glorious revisit to his 'old' style anyhow), the last film he shot in black and white, and the last film he ever made with Toshiru Mifune, thus ending what is, to me at least, the finest director-actor pairing in the history of cinema.

"Red Beard" was Akira Kurosawa final prayer for human kindness.

You will be left breathless. 51 out of 60 found this helpful. Two scenes stand out for me. so 10/10, and please check more of Kurosawa's work out, you will not regret. 86 out of 95 found this helpful. It's the perfect antidote against a conception of medicine as an instrument of social ascension, betraying its very purpose, something deeply rooted in humanity's instinct for survival which, over history, didn't only mean curing the body, but the soul as well. In 19th-century Japan, a rough-tempered yet charitable town doctor trains a young intern. Was this review helpful? In between was the slow-but-intense Crime/Class drama High and Low (63). Was this review helpful? Medicine doesn't always prevent death but if one could die in happiness, then somewhat the job was done. I would not claim that "Red Beard" is among Kurosawa's half dozen greatest works. And then there is the rain. An executive of a shoe company becomes a victim of extortion when his chauffeur's son is kidnapped and held for ransom.

If you want to see a film that talks about compassion then you are going to want to see this film.

14 out of 24 found this helpful. "Red Beard". Yasumoto, selfish and ambitious, has no intention to begin with of devoting his services to the hospital but one by one his defences collapse as he learns from the example of an idealist who has shed all vestiges of selfishness. With Toshirô Mifune, Yûzô Kayama, Tsutomu Yamazaki, Reiko Dan. Yasumoto rebels in numerous ways, but Red Beard proves a wise and patient teacher. The story was engaging and the acting superb. Akira Kurosawa's "Red Beard" is assembled with the complexity and depth of a good l9th-century novel, and it is a pleasure, in a time of stylishly fragmented films, to watch a director taking the time to fully develop his characters. It was the last of his period costume dramas (excluding Ran and Kagemusha, though these were more of a glorious revisit to his 'old' style anyhow), the last film he shot in black and white, and the last film he ever made with Toshiru Mifune, thus ending what is, to me at least, the finest director-actor pairing in the history of cinema. This is the case with Red Beard, a picture best known for being the last in a long line of collaborations with actor Toshiro Mifune. Highly recommended. Was this review helpful?

Kyôko Kagawa as the Mantis was great in portraying her madness and the scene itself is an example of great film making. I watched it at my uncle's house (about an hour away from my home), and it was 9:00pm, I had so much work to do at home that night and after noticing the 3-hour length on the box (!!!
