Written by the Nobel Prize for Literature winner Sir Kazuo Ishiguro and featuring an Oscar® Nominated performance from Bill Nighy, Living in a reimagining of the classic Akira Kurosawa 1953 film Ikiru, which transposes the setting from Japan to England.
The film is the story of an ordinary man (Bill Nighy), 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 — into one he can say has been lived to the full.
Nominated for two Oscars® and three BAFTAS.
“Living is not a big movie, despite the pedigree of its creators. But it is an artistically masterful one — a film that, while deceptively simple, may linger in your mind for years to come.” — Matthew Huff, AV Club.
2022. UK/Japan/Sweden. Director: Oliver Hermanus. Cast: Bill Nighy, Aimee Lou Wood, Alex Sharp. Duration: 1hr 42mins. Cert: 12A.
