Description

1952. 143 Min.

IKIRU is a deeply moving human story of a man facing his own mortality. When given a diagnosis of a fatal illness, a rigid government employee resolves to make the most of his remaining days of life. In this uplifting portrait, the man begins a search for the meaning of existence. Legendary director Akira Kurosawa directs both an intimate film and a tour-de-force. In exploring the nature of life, Kurosawa again gives us an extraordinary cinema experience.
