Transposing "Ikiru" to post-war London is a good trick and well executed, but "Living" softens Kurasawa's satire and tone, leaving the new movie an unsatisfying journey.

I didn't know that #LivingMovie is a remake of a very well-regarded film called Ikiru by Akira Kurosawa. Lots to live up to indeed. #BillNighy

I saw #LivingMovie earlier in the week, and it's one of the rare times I saw a film without really knowing anything about it. I wish I could make that happen more often. I went because of Bill Nighy's Best Actor nomination and a short non-descript blurb that I read about the movie.

It's a very quiet, thoughtful film, and it's fun to watch #BillNighy make his way through the character as the film develops.
