For this Saturday Afternoon Matinee, we will watch Red Beard (1965), a Japanese medical drama from the great master himself, Akiro Kurosawa. The film is in the late Edo period (i.e., 19th century) and starring Toshiro Mifune as a grizzled older doctor who takes a new apprentice under his wing, introducing him to all the unsavory elements of the profession. This is considered one of Kurosawa’s finest works and one of the best Japanese films of all time; it is currently ranked #87 on the Letterboxd Top 250.

We’ll start at 2PM EST on Hextube, right here:
