076. Kiyoshi Kurosawa: License to Live
Manage episode 430985820 series 2848684
In the first of our deep cut picks for our Kiyoshi Kurosawa series, Ben introduces the others to Kurosawa’s License to Live (1998) because he really needed to talk to somebody after a stunning ending. Eli digs into the film’s comedic sensibilities, finding similarities with fellow Japanese director Takeshi Kitano, while Wilson finds himself “so sad” contending with Kurosawa’s trend of nihilism across his body of work. By the end of the episode we ask ourselves: what does it mean to have lived “enough”?
