🎬 Living (2022) – Random Movie #1718

This week, we review Living (2022), Oliver Hermanus’s quietly moving adaptation of Akira Kurosawa’s Ikiru. Bill Nighy stars as Mr. Williams, a buttoned-up civil servant in 1950s London who, after receiving a terminal diagnosis, sets out to find meaning in a life he’s long kept at arm’s length. With tender performances and a beautifully restrained script by Kazuo Ishiguro, this reflective drama explores purpose, legacy, and the quiet power of small acts.

🎲 Picked from Metacritic’s all-time movie list: if you found out your time was short, would you chase a grand gesture…or simply make a difference where you stand? Listen now to find out!
