A film by Akira Kurosawa
Sometimes l think of death , wrote Kurosawa, l think of ceasing to be... and its from these thoughts that lkiru came. The story of a man diagnosed with stomach cancer, Kurosawa's fiIm is a series contemplation of the nature of existence and the question of how we find meaning in our Iives.
Opening with a sIot of an x-ray, showing the main character's stomach, Ikiru telIs the tale of a dedicated, downtrodden civil servant who, diagnosed with a fatal cancer, learns to change his dull, unfulfiIled existence, and suddenly discovers a zest for life. PIunging first into seIf-pity, then a bout of hedonistic pleasure-seeking on the frenetic streets of post-war Tokyo, Watanabe the film's hero finaIly finds satisfaction through buiIding a chiIdren's pIayground.
BeautifulIy pIayed by Takashi Shimura (who starred in 21 of Kurosawa's fiIms), Ikiru is an intenseIy lyricaI and moving film, and was one of Kurosawa's own favourites.
DVD extras incIude an introduction by AIex Cox and biographies of Kurosawa and Shimura
