In this powerful early noir from the great Akira Kurosawa, Toshiro Mifune bursts onto the screen as 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 is an evocative, moody snapshot of a volatile time and place, featuring one of the director s most memorably violent climaxes.

Reader Reviews
This review is for the Criterion Collection DVD edition of the film.

Drunken Angel released in 1948 under the Japanese title "Yoidore tenshi" is Akira Kurosawa's seventh film.

It is about a gangster being treated for tuberculosis by an alcoholic physician. After one of the gangster's associates is released from prison, he tries to take over the syncicate and a fight ensuses for leadership. The film's final scene is well known and memorable.

This release contains some excellent special features. It includes a making of documentary which was part of a series of documentaries on the making of many Kurosawa films. Also included is audio commentary by Donald Richie, and a very informative documentary titled "Kurosawa and the Censors" which describes the process of how the the film had rewrites because of the censorship Japanese cinema was put under by the American occupation.

This is a great film and remains one of his best known films of the 1940's
