Review of Drunken Angel (1948) by Edgar C — 16 Sep 2009
The first collaboration between the legendary cinematic couple Toshirô Mifune and Akira Kurosawa consists in a moving tale of morality, crime and revenge in post-war Tokyo, a world that I hadn't seen before this film. The brilliance implied in early Kurosawa works relies on character development and stories that, as simple as they may seem, establish a clear and true message: life must go on. An extraordinary performance by Takashi Shimura, this is an early good film by one of the greatest filmmakers of all time.
85/100.
