Episode #99 (S12E09) – Ikiru [生きる] (1952)
Ikiru (1952)
生きる [Ikiru]

Returning guest and fellow podcaster Derick McDuff is back on the show for a discussion of one of Akira Kurosawa’s most well-known and well-regarded films—1952’s Ikiru. We chart Waranabe’s growth over the movie, the type of environment he’s in, and how little Japanese bureaucracy has changed.
This is our final episode of the season. We’re going to take a break, but we’ll return shortly with Season 13!
Hosted by Perry Constantine
Guest-Starring Derick McDuff
