To me, this film is his masterpiece and one of the greatest films of all time. Fittingly, it is the last collaboration between Toshiro Mifune and Akiro.
The story seems soap-opera/melodramatic: young, attractive, ambitious doctor rebels when assigned to a medical clinic serving the poor and run by a gruff, no nonsense medical director.
But the beauty of the film is in how Kurosawa weaves so many recogizable tales in his inimitably human way and leaves us greatly caring for--- almost loving--- the characters.
Few films can touch one so and, just possibly, change the course of a life.
Like the highest achievements in other art forms, such as Michaelangelo's St. Theresa or a late period Beethoven sonata, one can only marvel as one is swept away to a better world.
