In a remote island village during World War II, the maniacally dedicated Dr. Akagi is known as Dr. Liver because of his tireless efforts to combat hepatitis. However, the Japanese government is reluctant to support his attempts to find a cure because it is busy wasting resources trying to win an unwinnable war. Joined by a Buddhist priest, a morphine-addicted surgeon, a Dutch POW, and a former prostitute who falls in love with him, Akagi comically runs from house call to house call in a race to find a cure on his own. The film is adapted from the novel DOCTOR LIVER by Ango Sakaguchi. Director Shohei Imamura worked on the script with his son Daisuke Imamura, who writes under the name Daisuke Tengan. The film includes several beautiful surrealistic touches, including a battle with a whale that recalls Herman Melville's classic novel MOBY-DICK. In the end, hepatitis turns out to be Akagi's own white whale, deforming his personal relationships and making him forget his primary mission as a physician.

  

Ironia e toni da commedia alla vigilia di Hiroshima ? Sembra un paradosso, ma la poetica del 'vecchio Shoei Imamura (ha settantatre anni portati con la vitalit?e la forza interiore di un giovane fiducioso nel futuro) ha avuto ragione e ci ha regalato un'opera delicata e sensibile. Estate 1945. Nel clima di tensione bellica, il cinquantenne dottor Akagi ?ossessionato da una epidemia di epatite che coglie i suoi concittadini e per questo ?chiamato 'Dottor Fegato'. Medico generico in una cittadina di provincia ?sempre pronto a prendersi cura dei malati del villaggio e, per il suo impegno, ?deriso da tutti. Intorno a lui un gruppo di assistenti a dir poco 'sui generis' : un chirurgo tossicodipendente, un bonzo pazzo, una giovane prostituta, un militare olandese evaso da un campo di prigionia. Alla fine la bomba atomica arriva ed il fungo si trasforma in un....fegato ! E' l'ultima immagine di un piccolo gioiello di leggerezza, di intelligenza e di amore per l'umanit?
