A testament to the goodness of humankind, Akira Kurosawa's Red Beard (Akahige) 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 yet empathic director who guides his pupil to maturity, teaching the 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. *Viewer Reviews* This is one of Kurosawa Akria's early efforts, reflecting both his unique very visual style of filmmaking and his concern with the human situation. This is NOT really a samurai movie in the accepted Western sense, although Mifune does beat the hell out of a group of baddies in more or less typical Mifune fashion, and also typically, voices regret for having done so! It is a very good, if not excellent film, which concerns itself with themes of loyalty and rebellion, sickness and health, and life and death. Back To Top
