November 20, 2025… #movieoftheday is Ikiru (1952).
“ Ikiru (生きる; "To Live") is a 1952 Japanese drama film directed by Akira Kurosawa from a screenplay co-written with Shinobu Hashimoto and Hideo Oguni . The film examines the struggles of a terminally ill Tokyo bureaucrat (played by Takashi Shimura ) and his final quest for meaning. The screenplay was partly inspired by Leo Tolstoy 's 1886 novella The Death of Ivan Ilyich .
“The film's major themes include learning how to live, the inefficiency of bureaucracy , and decaying family life in Japan, which have been the subject of analysis by academics and critics. It won awards for Best Film at the Kinema Junpo and Mainichi Film Awards and is widely considered one of the greatest films of all time. Ikiru is regarded by some as Kurosawa's masterpiece.” more at Wikipedia
Ikiru shows Akira Kurosawa at his most compassionate — affirming life through an exploration of death. 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.
