Living

Nominated for 2 Academy Awards: Best Lead Actor (Bill Nighy) and Best Adapted Screenplay.

In this elegant reimagining of Akira Kurosawa’s beloved classic Ikiru, BAFTA Award-winner Bill Nighy (Love Actually) delivers a remarkable performance as Mr. Williams, a dedicated civil servant living in post-WWII London who receives an earth-shattering diagnosis, forcing him to take stock of his lonely existence. In the hopes of answering life’s most important questions, he sets out on a series of adventures, determined to find some fulfillment before time runs out. Magnificently scripted by Kazuo Ishiguro (Nobel Prize-winning author of The Remains of The Day and Never Let Me Go), and exquisitely directed by Oliver Hermanus (Moffie), Living is the story of an ordinary man who, at the eleventh hour, makes a supreme effort to turn his life into something wonderful. (Dir. by Oliver Hermanus, 2022, UK/Japan/Sweden, in English, 102 mins., Rated PG-13)
