Japanese Film: Ikuru (To Live)

Ikiru brings us a man, Kanji Watanabe, who outwardly has lived an accomplished, if boring, life in Japanese civil service. When a diagnosis of stomach cancer reveals that he's only got a maximum of six months to live, he's confronted with the inadequacies of his pursuits. He's forced to strip the veneer off his existence and find meaning in his final days. Watanabe's life is told through the reflections, perceptions, and impressions of the people around him in two parts; Watanabe's quest in the present and then through a series of flashbacks.
