Ikiru 4K 1952

Kenji Watanabe (Takashi Shimura) is a mid-level bureaucrat whose daily life is bleak and unfulfilling. In his 30 years on the job, he has never missed a single day. But everything changes when he learns he has cancer and doesn’t have long to live. During the last months of his life, he reevaluates his values and priorities and decides that it’s never too late to do something that will change the world for the better. The film is full of sadness, yet it carries an extraordinarily powerful message about life.
