Red Beard
twenty-third movie

Akira Kurosawa poster 23
Released Date: 3 April 1965 
Running Time: 185 minutes 
Color: Black and White 
Screen Format: Cinemascope 
 

Set in the waning days of the Tokugawa 
Shogunate, a young medical student, 
having finished his studies at a Dutch 
school in Nagasaki, pays a courtesy 
visit to the Koishikawa clinic which is 
dedicated to serving the poor. The 
clinic is headed by a doctor with the 
alias "Red Beard". After being informed 
he is to intern at the clinic, his initial 
resistance disappears as he comes to 
respect Red Beard's character. 
Kurosawa made this film hoping to grip 
the attention of audiences. The two long 
years taken to film this movie is 
considered to be the longest in Japanese 
film history.
