You may have missed Living


Dir: Oliver Hermanus (102 mins)


Bill Nighy is heartbreaking in this superb drama of repressed emotion: a remake of Japanese film Ikiru transposed to 1950s London, he plays a bureaucrat who has let life pass him by, an apparently humourless slave to his job. But when he receives an alarming medical diagnosis, he is forced to plan what may remain of his life. Nighy gives an award-winning performance in the classy adaptation by Remains Of The Day writer Kazuo Ishiguro, that will leave you teary and hopeful. Get on with Living.
