About Living Movie:

Living is a British historical drama film directed by Oliver Hermanus. Its screenplay by Kazuo Ishiguro was adapted from the 1952 Akira Kurosawa film Ikiru. Set in 1953 London, it stars Bill Nighy as a bureaucrat in the public works department who learns he has a fatal illness.

In October 2020, the project was announced with Nobel Prize-winning novelist Ishiguro as screenwriter and Nighy and Wood attached to star.[3] In December 2020, Lionsgate acquired the UK distribution rights.

In June 2021, principal photography began in the UK, Sharp and Burke were announced to have joined the film, and the first image from the film was released. It was also announced that Toho, the distributor of the original film, had acquired the rights for Japan. London’s County Hall provided the backdrop for the film; in addition, the film was co-financed through the County Hall Arts charity.

Living had its world premiere at the Sundance Film Festival on 21 January 2022, and was released in the UK on 4 November 2022, by Lionsgate. The film received positive reviews, with Nighy’s performance receiving particular acclaim. At the 95th Academy Awards, Living received two nominations: Best Actor for Nighy and Best Adapted Screenplay for Ishiguro.
