Remake 'Ikiru'? 'Living,' with Bill Nighy, tries

News Room

It’s probably not fair to recoil at the remaking of a classic. And yet, I can’t help a “bah humbug” welling up in me over Oliver Hermanus’ coolly elegant “Ikiru” remake, “Living.” The film, written by the Nobel laureate Kazuo Ishiguro, is a handsome piece of work and finely acted, particularly Bill Nighy, who stars as a British civil servant named Mr. Williams.
