Film 'Living'
2023-04-14 19:30 - 21:30 | Westbury Village Hall, Hannah's Lane, BA5 1JD
Staring Bill Nighy.
Living is the story of an ordinary man, reduced by years of oppressive office routine to a shadow existence, who at the eleventh hour makes a supreme effort to turn his dull life into something wonderful. It sets a high bar for itself in setting out to remake a Kurosawa classic which director Oliver Hermanus and star Bill Nighy clear in triumphant fashion. Here are a few critical tasters – make sure you don’t miss this.

Living is a tastefully poignant story of deep human emotion wrapped up in a retro British wall covering. It’s sad, but in its awakening consciousness, it reminds us all that it’s never too late to embrace life.

A beautifully subdued, moving and modest testament to the big life lesson Nighy’s character, Rodney Williams, belatedly learns, namely how a big part of living is giving.

A remake with its own identity that is quite emotional when it questions lost happiness, the fatigue of modern man and the value of life as an act of human transcendence, with a formidable performance from Bill Nighy.

Living belongs to Nighy. A nuanced, compelling and heartrending performance that deserves far more than just his first Academy Awards nomination, this may just be the role that he’ll be most remembered for.
Despite Living’s themes of existential crisis and rebirth, Nighy never telegraphs sentimentality or showy epiphanies. In true Nighy style, this subdued and delicate portrait is an invitation rather than a proclamation.
The particulars of this story are superbly well-suited to the culture and social conditions of England in the wake of the Second World War.
Living deftly challenges us to ask ourselves how dead we may be inside. And more importantly, what we plan to do about it.
It’s a really simple, beautiful film.
£7 adults to include first glass of wine ,beer or cider
