Kurosawa's "Ikiru: To Live"


This is the third and last film in the Authentic Happiness Series. Lauded as one of the greatest films ever made, and arguably Kurosawa's greatest masterpiece in a long line of masterpieces, Ikiru narrates the story of a man who has realized he is quickly dying of cancer. The story follows his coming to terms with a life he now deems as largely wasted, and his search for something meaningful to do in the remaining time. It is anything but sappy. I hope you can make it to the screening of Ikiru on Thursday, April 17th, at 7PM in McClendon 2. There will be plenty of delicious finger foods and a lively discussion after the film. Hope to see you there.
