| Summary |
Summary: In this powerful early noir from Akira Kurosawa, Toshiro Mifune plays a volatile, tuberculosis-infected criminal who strikes up an unlikely, unhealthy relationship with Takashi Shimura's jaded physician. Set in and around the muddy swamps and back alleys of postwar Tokyo, Drunken Angel (Yoidore tenshi) is an evocative, moody snapshot of a troubled time and place, featuring one of the directorʼs most memorably violent climaxes |
