Film Information

Academy Award Nominee: Bill Nighy (Best Actor in a Leading Role) and Kazuo Ishiguro (Best Adapted Screenplay). LIVING sets a high bar for itself in setting out to remake a Kurosawa classic — and director Oliver Hermanus and star Bill Nighy clear it in triumphant fashion. LIVING is the story of an ordinary man, reduced by years of oppressive office routine to a shadow existence, who at the eleventh hour makes a supreme effort to turn his dull life into something wonderful.

Reviews

“Deeply felt films that look past today’s disputes remain rare, which is why Living is so refreshing.”

Kyle Smith
Wall Street Journal

“An absolutely gorgeous, heartbreaking piece of work.”

David Fear
Rolling Stone

“A sturdy and thoughtful drama, anchored by a moving lead performance from Bill Nighy and elevated by a handsome sense of style.”
