Review of Red Beard (1965) by Marie C — 27 Aug 2011
Beautifully filmed. Explored the affects of adversity on a person's soul, health and mentality. Movie follows the story of an arrogant, vain new doctor sent to work in a clinic treating the poor. Normally a movie this long would have me glancing at the time, checking facebook intermittently and being slightly relieved when it was all over.
But when I watch Kurosawa's movies, there is nothing else until the movie is over. The characters are so very flawed and genuine that you can't help becoming engrossed in their stories. Best movie I've seen in ages.
