Retro Film Series Presents!
Akira Kurosawa’s IKIRU: New 4K DCP!
(Japan, 1952, 143 min)
One of Kurosawa's greatest achievements, “Ikiru” shows the director at his most compassionate—affirming life through an explora¬tion of death. Takashi Shimura beautifully portrays Kanji Watanabe, an aging bureaucrat with stomach cancer who is impelled to find meaning in his final days. Presented in a radically conceived two¬part structure and shot with a perceptive, humanistic clarity of vision, Ikiru is a multifaceted look at what it means to be alive.
