Movie of the Day: Living (2022) by Oliver Hermanus

Mr. Williams (Bill Nighy) is a reserved, diligent, English gentleman, working as a mid-level bureaucrat in post-war London County Council, presiding over a small team who live in respectful fear of their taciturn superior. His entirely unremarkable life is derailed when his doctor gives him the news nobody wants to hear: he is terminally ill with mere months to live. In the clumsy manner of one unaccustomed to such things, Mr. Williams attempts to experience some fleeting pleasures before settling on one final purpose, the construction of a children’s playground. Nominated for 2 Oscars. 9 wins & 47 nominations international film festivals.
