Ikiru Isn’t The First Kurosawa You Think Of (But Maybe It Should Be) | CineFix Top 100
Description
Ikiru, Akira Kurosawa ‘gem’ from 1952, follows a dying bureaucrat searching for something of value in his life before succumbing to cancer. At times both tremendously sad and undeniably life-affirming, Ikiru is critical of the system of meaningless admin work and the people who populate it. Clint, Cal and Alex sift through mountains of paperwork to discuss subtle camera moves in emotional megamontages, the intricate and invisible blocking that sets Kurosawa apart and the best Frank Capra movie that he never made.
Meanwhile, Dan’s algorithm is absolutely WRECKING the vibe in this bar with its rendition of Gondola No Uta.
