Red Beard (1965) - 2K Remaster
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 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.
"Kurosawa somehow manages to imbue every moment of this three-hour-plus movie with the transcendent vitality and intelligence of a great Victorian novel...." New Yorker
"The final collaboration between director Akira Kurosawa and Japanese icon Toshiro Mifune is one of Kurosawa's most ambitious, personal, and heartfelt films...." Sean Axemaker
