overview
What is Red Beard about?
What is the key to life - power, prestige or peace?. Aspiring to an easy job as personal physician to a wealthy family, Noboru Yasumoto is disappointed when his first post after medical school takes him to a small country clinic under the gruff doctor Red Beard. Yasumoto rebels in numerous ways, but Red Beard proves a wise and patient teacher. He gradually introduces his student to the unglamorous side of the profession, ultimately assigning him to care for a prostitute rescued from a local brothel. It blends drama elements. The film reflects a distinct Japan style and perspective. The story is brought to life by director Akira Kurosawa. With a runtime of 3h 5m, it offers an epic cinematic journey.
