CineFix - IGN Movies and TV | Ikiru Isn’t The First Kurosawa You Think Of (But Maybe It Should Be) | CineFix Top 100 @CineFix | Uploaded 1 week ago | Updated 2 days ago
“This isn’t even worth watching.”
Ikiru, Akira Kurosawa ‘gem’ from 1952, follows a dying bureaucrat searching for something of value in his life before succumbing to cancer. At times both tremendously sad and undeniably life-affirming, Ikiru is critical of the system of meaningless admin work and the people who populate it. Clint, Cal and Alex sift through mountains of paperwork to discuss subtle camera moves in emotional megamontages, the intricate and invisible blocking that sets Kurosawa apart and the best Frank Capra movie that he never made.
Meanwhile, Dan’s algorithm is absolutely WRECKING the vibe in this bar with its rendition of Gondola No Uta.
CineFix Top 100 was created by Clint Gage and Dan Parkhurst and is produced by Tayo Oyekan, with Director of Photography, Jamie Parslow and Technical Producers, Marhyan Franzen and Amir Rakib. Our Executive Producers are Clint Gage and Corrado Caretto. Logo and graphic design by Eric Sapp and title animations by Casey Redmon.
