Drunken Angel

Directed by Akira Kurosawa

Written by Keinosuke Uekusa, Akira Kurosawa

In postwar Tokyo, a blunt, alcohol-soaked doctor diagnoses a swaggering young yakuza with tuberculosis, forging an uneasy bond that’s tested when the gangster’s ruthless former boss returns and drags him back toward the swampy underworld he can’t escape.
