Published: Dec. 26, 2022, 4 p.m.

Eric, Dominic and Jason delve into their earliest Kurosawa films so far with two intruging medical dramas, Drunken Angel and A Quiet Duel. The films are an interesting contrast to each other in the ways they explore the medical trade, post-WWII Japan, inner and outer corruption and the way ambitions play into characters' lives. They also represent a restive and brilliant artist beginning to find his footing in his favorite trade, and delivering some of the most beautiful scenes of his career. Please join us for an interesting 68-minute discussion of early work by a master filmmaker.
