Japanese Film: Ikiru (Kurosawa 1952)

Hi everyone-- I decided to expand the series a little bit, from just Kurosawa to Japanese movies in general, because there are a lot of very famous Japanese movies I haven't seen. But we'll watch Kurosawa too.

First up, one of my all-time favorite movies, Ikiru (To Live) (1952), starring Sour Puss (aka Takashi Shimura), who was in practically every Kurosawa movie he ever made.

Remember, watch the movie first, come ready to talk about it!

We will meet on Friday, May 8, 2026, at 8PM, at LEANING TOWER OF PIZZA at 24th Street and Lyndale, same as always. See you there!
