I Live in Fear (Kurosawa, 1955): Prince Charles Cinema, 6pm
This 35mm presentation also screens on July 11th at the Prince Charles. Details here.
Chicago Reader review:
A 1955 feature by Akira Kurosawa and one of his most underrated,
starring Toshiro Mifune as an aging patriarch who, frightened by the
prospect of a nuclear war, decides to sell his family business and move
to a farm in Brazil. Along with Kurosawa’s sublime Rhapsody in August,
which also deals with the atomic bomb, this was probably the most
poorly received work of his entire career, but I persist in finding it
among the most memorable: eerie, troubling, and haunting.
Jonathan Rosenbaum
Here (and and above) are the film's theme tune.
