| Summary, etc |
From case cover:<br/>Dr Sanada (Takashi Shimura), the drunken angel of the title, runs a clinic in the slums of Tokyo. When small-time hood Matsunaga (Toshirô Mifune) comes to his surgery after a gunfight Sanada diagnoses him with tuberculosis and convinces him to begin treatment. The disillusioned doctor feels that, by saving this young yakuza, he can retrieve a sense of his own lost youth and idealism. Thus they embark on a troubled friendship which is tested by the prejudices of the two and the release from prison of Matsunaga's mobster boss.<br/><br/>Mifune, in his first major screen role, and Toho regular Shimura star together in a film which is part gangster, part melodrama and part social critique, establishing for the first time their dynamic relationship and the extraordinary on-screen chemistry which Kurosawa would explore further in films such as Stray Dog and Seven Samurai.<br/><br/>Despite being Kurosawa's eighth feature, Drunken Angel was the director's first critical success and the first film in which he 'finally discovered [himself]'. The 'existential humanism' which made him famous is at the root of this extraordinary tale with correlation between strength of spirit and physical well-being representing the two forces at work in post-war Japan. |
