"Life Is Brief" b/w "You *Can* Fight City Hall": Kurosawa's Ikiru

Date of Review:  Aug 20, 2004
The Bottom Line: The Bottom Line wants to be remembered for hindering the progress of a million reviewers. It's a proud and lasting legacy.
Review: In "The Royal Tenenbaums", Gene Hackman's title character is given (or says he's been given) six months to live. He takes this tragedy and turns it into an opportunity to get to know his kids again, and renew affections with his wife. It's a...

I Can't Afford to Hate People, I Don't Have That Kind of Time

Date of Review:  Nov 14, 2007
The Bottom Line: Ikiru is an Inspirational, Complex Drama from Akira Kurosawa & Co. Featuring a Brilliant Performance from Takashi Shimura. (4.5 out of 5)
Review: While Japanese auteur Akira Kurosawa is predominantly known for his samurai films or films that involved samurai in old Japan. The director often adds more elements of drama to the film to renew the idea of samurai. Part of those elements have...
