Living (12A) + ScreenTalk with Editor Chris Wyatt

Bill Nighy in Living

An ailing bureaucrat in 50s London attempts to break out of the monotony of his life, before it is too late to make a change. 

William (Bill Nighy), a cog in 1950s London's bureaucracy, lives a life of endless monotony. One day, he receives shocking news that knocks him out of his malaise and forces him into a journey of discovery, as he attempts to grasp fulfilment before it goes beyond reach.

Based on Kazuo Ishiguro's screenplay, adapted from Akira Kurosawa's 1952 film Ikiru. 

We are delighted to have editor Chris Wyatt in conversation with Catharine Des Forges, Director of the Independent Cinema Office.
