“An absolutely gorgeous, heartbreaking piece of work.” – David Fear, Rolling Stone
“Living is an immensely moving memento mori, anchored by Nighy’s breathtaking performance, and a call to live a life with purpose.” — Alissa Wilkinson, Vox
“A director rising into the highest ranks and an actor at the peak of his powers are the keys to this mesmerising melodrama.” — Kevin Maher, The Times
One of the most acclaimed films of the year, Living is a deeply moving and life affirming drama about a man dealing with a terminal diagnosis featuring a pitch perfect central performance by Bill Nighy. The film is scripted by Kazuo Ishiguro and adapted from Akira Kurosawa’s 1953 Japanese masterpiece, Ikiru. In this remake, the story is transplanted to 1950s London where the narrow minded bureaucrat Mr Williams finds out he has terminal stomach cancer and decides to use his remaining time to ensure a much needed children’s playground is built nearby.
