One man waits at the edge of the swamp knowing that one day he'll be pulled under like everything else.
Willow MaclayApr 14, 2021#madlad Mifune About halfway into Drunken Angel, a white flower is thrown in the swampy lake stretching out like some eerie omen in the middle of the neighborhood. The rotten water opens its mouth and yawns in the mud-brown stillness – but the flower stays on the surface.…

BarmillivApr 4, 2020Drunken Angel is an early yakuza movie, though it's different to what we may later consider typical for yakuza films. It's also probably Akira Kurosawa's first masterpiece. He was a director of broad strokes and so this story of a good man trying to save a gangster is…
