Extra-Infos: Takashi Shimura
Akira Kurosawa
Description:One of the greatest achievements by Akira Kurosawa (Seven Samurai), Ikiru presents the director at his most compassionate-affirming life through an exploration of death. Takashi Shimura (Rashomon) beautifully portrays Kanji Watanabe, an aging bureaucrat with stomach cancer who is impelled to find meaning in his final days. Presented in a radically conceived two-part structure and shot with a perceptive, humanistic clarity of vision, Ikiru is a multifaceted look at what it means to be alive.
"Ikiru," available on Blu-Ray from Criterion, is a profound cinematic masterpiece directed by the legendary Akira Kurosawa. Released in 1952, this film tells the poignant story of Kanji Watanabe (played by Takashi Shimura), a bureaucrat who discovers he has terminal cancer and embarks on a journey to find meaning in his remaining days. The Criterion Collection is renowned for its meticulous restorations and insightful supplements, ensuring that viewers experience "Ikiru" as intended. Akira Kurosawa, one of cinema?s most influential directors, also created classics like "Seven Samurai" and "Rashomon." Lead actor Takashi Shimura was celebrated for his roles in numerous Kurosawa films and remains an icon of Japanese cinema. Other notable contributors include screenwriter Shinobu Hashimoto ("Harakiri") and composer Fumio Hayasaka ("Rashomon"), both acclaimed for their significant impact on film history.
