Noir Alley screens Akira Kurosawa's Drunken Angel on TCM
TCM's Noir Alley screened Akira Kurosawa's 1948 film Drunken Angel tonight, with host Eddie Muller opening the broadcast. The film pairs Toshiro Mifune as a tuberculosis-infected yakuza with Takashi Shimura as the weary doctor in postwar Tokyo, depicting poverty, disease, and moral decay. The broadcast underscored Kurosawa's early collaboration with Mifune and the film's raw blend of noir visuals and social realism, a milestone that helped reshape Japanese cinema after World War II.
Now I must ask: who are these jabronis crying about Eddie showing non-English movies? #TCMParty #NoirAlley
millerfilm7Subtitles. Plus, people probably don't think about Film Noir being an outside-the-U.S. thing, even though the genre has a French name. #DrunkenAngel #TCMParty #NoirAlley
leeia3Not me! I've been watching Fellini's Amarcord this week. And yes, it's taken me a few nights to wade through it. #DrunkenAngel #TCMParty #NoirAlley
