Living sets a high bar for itself in setting out to remake a Kurosawa classic and director Oliver Hermanus and star Bill Nighy clear it in triumphant fashion.
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.
"Living is even further removed from the The Death of Ivan Ilyich than Kurosawa's film. It is even smaller and more intimate, and much of its suppressed wonder comes from a career-best performance from Nighy." - Richard Whittaker - Austin Chronicle
UK/JP | 2022 | Drama | 102 min | Dir. Oliver Hermanus
