(The National) - If the ambience of Akira Kurosawa�s 1948
breakthrough feature, "Drunken Angel" (Amazon.com:
http://xrl.us/DrunkenAngel ), seems strange to those who
know him through his sumptuous period pieces, the richness
and complexity of its characters and narrative will be
immediately familiar. The contradictions both within and
among the film�s characters and the film�s ultimate
conclusion on the worth of the human character are
hallmarks of Kurosawa�s cinema that Drunken Angel shows as
life-long concerns of the artist.

Perhaps even more impressive, "Drunken Angel" is an example
of an early work that shows a grasp of the intricate and
multi-layered possibilities of cinematic expression at an
early age..
