Akahige
Japan
| 1965 | Akira Kurosawa
In 19th-century Japan, a gruff slum doctor (Toshiro Mifune) tries to convince an arrogant young intern that caring for poor people is nobler than being a society physician. Kurosawa’s humanistic epic is perhaps the only hospital drama with swordplay. Kurosawa and Mifune’s 16th, and final, film together was voted the best Japanese film of 1965 in the Kinema Jumpo magazine poll.
35mm scope print! Subtitles. 185 min. Special admission $10; members, CIA I.D. holders, those age 25 & under $8. No passes, twofers, or radio winners.
