Short description

London, 1953. Mr. Williams, a veteran civil servant, is an important cog within the city's bureaucracy as it struggles to rebuild in the aftermath of World War II. Buried under paperwork at the office and lonely at home, his life has long felt empty and meaningless. Then a devastating medical diagnosis forces him to take stock, and to try and grasp some fulfilment before it passes permanently beyond reach.

What's left behind the scenes

Kazuo Ishiguro had dreamed for many years of making a remake of Akira Kurosawa's (1910-1998) drama "Ikiru" (1952) in English with Bill Nighy in the lead role. One late evening, he and his wife found themselves in a taxi with Nighy, and Ishiguro proposed the idea to the actor. It turned out that Nighy had not seen Kurosawa's film, but when he did, he enthusiastically agreed to star in the remake.
