Fancy Movie Time #22: Ikiru (1952)
Added 2024-10-28 14:00:14 +0000 UTCOn this episode of Fancy Movie Time with Brian and A.J., the Fancy Lads go on a bender with a novelist and die on a snowy swing as they cover Akira Kurosawa's 1952 bureaucratic tragedy: Ikiru. Does the film's luscious cinematography and poignant insights into the nature of being make it a Fancy Feast? Or does the film's reliance on melodrama and dramatic third act turn make it a Failure to Fancy? One thing's for sure: A.J. has certainly seen a lot of the hit NBC procedural The Blacklist.

Ooo mama. Excited to listen to this one. Kurosawa is one of my favorite directors ever and Ikiru hit me hard.

2024-10-31 03:37:44 +0000 UTCIs there a particular age-minimum for a movie to be considered "fancy"? I just saw The Substance, and I would be fascinated to hear you guys discuss it.

2024-10-29 20:57:56 +0000 UTCMaybe not Looper, but Rian Johnson's first feature film Brick would probably be a good fit for Fancy Movie Time
