1.Red Beard starring: Toshirô Mifune, Yuzo Kayama, Tsutomu Yamazaki, Reiko Dan, Miyuki Kuwano directed by: Akira Kurosawa June 13, 2000
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $3.99
"Red Beard" is not only one of my favorite Kurosawa films, but it also ranks as one of my favorite movies period. Though Toshiro Mifune always gets a lot of the attention when talking about Kurosawan performances, for me the best acting in "Red Beard" comes from Yuzo Kayame as the arrogant hotshot doctor, Yasumoto. He plays a doctor in 19th century Japan who has just come from extensive schooling in all the latest medical practices, toting with him all his prized drawings and notes. He is expecting to serve at court, a prize appointment, but instead unwittingly finds himself as an intern in a sometimes squalid public clinic run by the imperfect, yet esteemed, Dr. Niide, aka Red Beard. Piqued, Yasumoto at first refuses to participate; instead, he attempts to break all the rules so as to ... Read More

3.Cruel Story of Youth starring: Yusuke Kawazu, Miyuki Kuwano, Yoshiko Kuga, Fumio Watanabe, Shinji Tanaka directed by: Nagisa Oshima January 01, 1998
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $10.00
After releasing his debut film Street of Love and Hope in 1959, Oshima would be quick to release three films in quick succession in 1960: Cruel Story of Youth, Burial of the Sun, and Night and Fog in Japan. While such output might make one think that the end results of the films might be a bit shoddy due to the hastiness in their creation, in fact all three of the films are important films not only within the realms of Oshima's filmic work, but for Japanese new wave cinema as a whole. Oshima began 1960 with a bang when Cruel Story of Youth was released. A genre film, fully embedded within the late 1950s, early 1960s tradition of youth films or Sun Tribe films made popular by directors Masamura Yasuzo and Nakahira Ko, Cruel Story of Youth goes beyond its formulaic groundings to be a film that ...
