Secondary

The film "Living" is an adaptation of Akira Kurosawa's "Ikiru." All major characters in this adaptation retain the same gender as their counterparts in the original source material, with no instances of a character established as one gender being portrayed as another.
Living (2022) is an adaptation of Akira Kurosawa's Ikiru (1952), shifting the setting from 1950s Tokyo to 1950s London and creating new characters appropriate for this context. The film does not portray an established character of one race as a different race, but rather introduces new characters for its reimagined setting.
