Description
[Machine Translation] Akira Kurosawa's immortal masterpiece "Ikiru" (1952) will be revived set in post-World War II England! Nobel Prize-winning author Kazuo Ishiguro, known for his novels "The Remains of the Day" and "Watashi wo Watashi wo Sasanai" (Do not let go of me), says that Kurosawa's film had an impact on him when he was young, and that he has been influenced by the message of the film in his life. He wrote the screenplay and created a new "Ikiru" in this depressing era. Directed by Oliver Hermanus, who won the Queer Palme at the Cannes Film Festival in 2011 for Beauty. --The year is 953. London is still recovering from World War II. Williams (Bill Nighy), a civil servant, takes the same train to work today. He is a so-called "uptight" English gentleman, dressed in a pinstriped suit and wearing a high hat. He works in the civic section of the city office and is always busy with paperwork while his subordinates are always sniffing at him. He feels lonely at home and feels that his life is empty and meaningless. Then one day, he is diagnosed with cancer by a doctor and learns that he has only six months to live. He says goodbye to the days when he was nothing but a cog in the wheel and begins to look at his life in a new light. He decides to live a full life before it is too late. He abandons his job and goes to a seaside resort to drink and frolic, but something doesn't feel right. Illness consumes his body... Returning to London, he meets Margaret ( Amy Lou Wood ), who used to work for him. She is now full of vitality, eager to test her strength in society. He is attracted to her, and as he spends some small time with her, he decides to take a new step forward as if he had an epiphany. This step will eventually change the people around him, who had been indifferent to him.
