Latest Update

Ikiru

Ikiru

Not many movies can claim to be the subject of peer-reviewed scientific papers in reputed journals. Akira Kurosawa's "Ikiru" (To Live) (1952) is one such masterpiece that regales us 60 years after it was made and contributes to science as well. "Ikiru" is a film that exhibits the strengths of good direction, screenplay and acting. A detailed review of the Berlin Film Festival winner is at http://moviessansfrontiers.blogspot.in/2013/05/145-japanese-maestro-akira-kurosawas.html
