Living (12A)
Director: Oliver Hermanus
Starring: Bill Nighy, Aimee Lou Wood, Alex Sharp
Drama | UK | 2022 | 1 hr 42 mins
In 1950s London, a humourless bureaucrat decides to take time off work to experience life after receiving a grim diagnosis.
“The story is a moving elegy on the value of life based on one of the best films ever made, Akira Kurosawa’s Ikiru. There is much grace and value in this update because of the attention to detail and emotional current of the people who made it and helps a great deal to validate your remake if you have a Nobel Prize-winning author Kazuo Ishiguro writing the screenplay which transports the story of Kurosawa’s masterpiece to post-WWII London in a way that feels genuine. Ishiguro’s script is a beauty, but it’s the manner in which Bill Nighy conveys its subtle beats that elevates Living.”
