“In the eyes of cinephiles, remaking any film from Japanese giant Akira Kurosawa would be sheer blasphemy. But when captivating actor Bill Nighy is at the center of the story, his angelic smile and splendid vocals do more than win you over.” – Clayton Davis, Variety
Living is the story of an ordinary man, reduced by years of oppressive office routine to a shadow existence, who at the eleventh hour makes a supreme effort to turn his dull life into something wonderful.
An English-language adaptation of Akira Kurosawa’s 1952 film Ikiru and set in London in the 1950s, the script for “Living” was penned by award-winning novelist Kazuo Ishiguro.
