Living screenwriter Kazuo Ishiguro on remaking Akira Kurosawa’s Ikiru: “There were certain dissatisfactions I had”
Few directors have had the audacity to remake cult classic films – Gus Van Sant’s Psycho, an almost shot-for-shot reimagining of Alfred Hitchcock’s iconic horror, comes to mind – and fewer yet have been successful in their endeavors. Yet, Living, a remake of Akira Kurasawa’s Ikiru, is an excellent production that pays homage to the original yet also brings something new to the story.
