TIFF OnScreen at the JET Presents: Living
In this remake of Akira Kurosawa's 1952 film Ikiru, director Oliver Hermanus teams with Nobel and Booker Prize-winning author Kazuo Ishiguro to renew a classic. Mr. Williams (Bill Nighy) is a buttoned-down, pinstripe and bowler hat-clad stereotypical English gentleman in 1952, with a mid-level bureaucratic job in a postwar London county council. One day Williams receives a dire diagnosis from his doctor and soon the tightly held reins of his very prosaic life begin to loosen.
