In a luscious and textured remake of Kurosawa’s 1952 masterful film, Ikiru, a British bureaucrat (Bill Nighy) questions his life choices after receiving a terminal diagnosis. Director Oliver Hermanus teams with Nobel- and Booker Prize–winning author Kazuo Ishiguro to renew the classic film.
Overwhelmed at work and lonely at home, a council bureaucrat’s life takes a heartbreaking turn when a medical diagnosis tells him his time is short. Influenced by a local decadent and a vibrant woman, he continues to search for meaning until a simple revelation gives him a purpose to create a legacy for the next generation.
Two Academy Award nominations for Best Lead Actor (Bill Nighy) and Best Adapted Screenplay (Kazuo Ishiguro).
