Ikiru (to live) by Akira Kurosawa 1952
There are certain key thoughts, feelings, songs, artwork, texts or movies which I return to in my head when ever I feel like I’m loosing my way. This film is one of those. If anyone wants to know what’s at the heart of bright stem or anyone who doesn’t give a flying f***k about bright stem but just wants to watch a really really amazing film which will change how you view the world and more importantly your role within that world then please watch this film. I know its black and white, I know it has subtitles, and I know its very slow moving but be attentive consentrate don’t fall asleep! This is not the sort of film you want to fall asleep to.
