Drunken Angel - dvd |
| In a neighbourhood run by gangsters a young
tough (Toshiro Mifune) visits the local doctor,
Sanada (Takashi Shimura), after he is wounded in a
gun fight. When he is diagnosed with tuberculosis
Sanada insists on treating the stubborn hoodlum
and an uneasy friendship develops. However, his
former boss returns from prison and the ailing
young man, in danger of losing his status,
confronts the prewar gangster in an attempt to
keep control of the gang. Set against a gackdrop of
a post-war shanty town, Drunken Angel is
considered to be Kurosawa�s first auteur piece
and still stands as a criticism of the futility of
gangster life and a testament to the human spirit.
