8.1Aspiring to an easy job as personal physician to a wealthy family, Noboru Yasumoto is disappointed when his first post after medical school takes him to a small country clinic under the gruff doctor Red Beard. Yasumoto rebels in numerous ways, but Red Beard proves a wise and patient teacher. He gradually introduces his student to the unglamorous side of the profession, ultimately assigning him to care for a prostitute rescued from a local brothel.

Barbarossa (赤ひげ Akahige?) è un film del 1965 diretto da Akira Kurosawa. Si tratta di un adattamento cinematografico del romanzo di Shūgorō Yamamoto Il racconto del dottor Barbarossa del 1958. Il romanzo Umiliati e offesi di Fëdor Dostoevskij ha ispirato una parte della trama relativa ad una ragazzina, Otoyo, salvata da un bordello. Barbarossa affronta la problematica dell'ingiustizia sociale ed esplora due dei filoni narrativi preferiti da Kurosawa: l'umanesimo e l'esistenzialismo.
