Love Bill Nighy as much as us? His latet film, Living, lands in cinemas 4 November. This adaptation of Akira Kurosawa’s classic 1952 film has received critical acclaim, following its showcase at Venice Film Festival. With many critics believing it stands up to – and beyond – the original. A bold claim indeed.

In Living, we see Bill Nighy in the role of Mr Williams. A veteran civil servant, he endeavours to live the rest of his life to the full when confronted with an unfortunate medical diagnosis. 

Nighy’s performance has been called brilliant and exceptional, in this moving and thought-provoking drama. It’s a must-see for any of you Bill Nighy fans reading. 

And, in honour of the movie opening in cinemas next month, we’re giving away 2x tickets to see Living in a UK cinema during its’ opening weekend!

If you fancy getting your hands on those tickets, enter our giveaway at the bottom of the page.
