Review of Ikiru (1952) by Shaun M — 17 Apr 2011
Another compelling masterwork from Akira Kurosawa, Ikiru is a thoughtful meditation on both the meaning of life and what it means to be alive. Takashi Shimura's revelatory lead performance as a man dying of cancer will keep you engrossed despite the fairly slow pace.
