Ikiru (4K Restoration)
In Japanese Language with English Subtitles. One of the greatest achievements by Akira Kurosawa, IKIRU shows the director at his most compassionate—affirming life through an exploration of death. Takashi Shimura beautifully portrays Kanji Watanabe, an aging bureaucrat with stomach cancer who is impelled to find meaning in his final days. Presented in a radically conceived two-part structure and shot with a perceptive, humanistic clarity of vision, IKIRU is a multifaceted look at what it means to be alive. Remade in 2022 as Living, featuring an Oscar nominated performance by Bill Nighy, IKIRU is considered by many to be amongst Kurosawa's best films. The film is a powerful indictment of official bureaucracy and our understanding of the joy of being alive.DramaPT2H23MPG2024-11-17Takashi Shimura
