SUMMARY:"Ikiru" @ Speed Cinema (multiple screenings)
DESCRIPTION:“I think this is one of the few movies that might actually be able to inspire someone to lead their life a little differently.”—Roger Ebert \nOne of the greatest achievements by Akira Kurosawa\, Ikiru shows the director at his most compassionate—affirming life through an explora­tion of death. Takashi Shimura beautifully portrays Kanji Watanabe\, an aging bureaucrat with stomach cancer who is impelled to find meaning in his final days. \nPresented in a radically conceived two-part structure and shot with a perceptive\, humanistic clarity of vision\, Ikiru is a multifaceted look at what it means to be alive. \nThe film was remade by Oliver Hermanus in 2022 as Living\, starring Bill Nighy and set in 1950s London. 1952\, Japan\, 4K DCP\, in Japanese with English subtitles\, 143 minutes. Recommended for 16+ \nIkiru\nDirected by Akira Kurosawa \nFriday\, September 5\, 6 pm | BUY TICKETS \nSaturday\, September 6\, 3 pm | BUY TICKETS \n$12 | $8 Speed members

If you want more information\, ask somebody rad or keep reading. \nMore than just an art show.\nUnFair is more than an art show; it’s an electrifying celebration of creativity\, community\, diversity and commitment. With our roots deeply planted in championing local talent\, our mission is to provide an unconventional and inclusive platform for local artist to freely showcase and make money from their artwork. We do not charge artists to participate and they keep 100% of the money they make. \nWe also extend our reach by supporting artists facing life’s harshest challenges. Every year\, dollars earned from the sale of UnFair merchandise are used to help local artists who find themselves in crisis. Everything that’s left is used to make sure that UnFair comes back every year. \nAs an officially registered nonprofit in Kentucky\, you can feel good knowing that every dollar you spend at UnFair is going to support local artists. \nFind out more about how we are making a difference for local artists. \n  \n***description from website
