3º – Bringing Out the Dead (Martin Scorsese, 1999)
The film brings the frantic day-to-day of a paramedic out of an ambulance, exposing every meander that understands his work, as well as paralleling his psychological state in a state of degeneration. Forgotten in Martin Scorsese’s filmography, ‘Bringing Out the Dead’ puts the viewer to accompany an area little explored by the world of cinema, gaining its substance precisely by not mitigating their scenes, showing what is the worst in the area.
2º – Dead Ringers (David Cronenberg, 1988)
Two twin brothers, both respected doctors, end up getting involved with the same woman, initiating a perverse game without winners. David Cronenberg’s masterpiece, this film takes advantage of the unique talent of its director in the aesthetic construction of each scene, bringing a beautiful cinematography and a perfect soundtrack to complete. Also worth highlighting is the irredeemable history and phenomenal performance of Jeremy Irons commanding the two central characters.
1º – Red Beard (Akira Kurosawa, 1965)
Allocated in the nineteenth century, the film brings the routine of a young doctor who starts in his new job in a village, being commanded by another rustic doctor. ‘Red Beard’, directed by master Akira Kurosawa, studies the psychological apparatus of two doctors in different phases of their lives, making a counterpoint between youth and maturity. A true masterpiece, which gets even better with the great performance of Toshirô Mifune in one of the central roles.
