    • Trivia
      The production designers went to a great deal of trouble to make this film look like it was made in the era it was set, including avoiding quick edits, softening the colour palette and using a relevant font for the film credits.
    • Goofs
      If you leave Waterloo Station to walk to the Greater London County Council (GLCC) you don't walk across Westminster bridge. They're on the same side South Bank.

    Life's What You Make It...
    You've lived a life within the bounds of expectation, conformed to all the rules and legislation, mastered the art of the transaction, never looking for reaction, played the game to par and met the regulations; but the hand you've just been dealt has caused confusion, as you realise you're living an illusion, mechanically going through the motions, avoiding feelings or emotions, now it's time to make a stand, based on conclusions.

    A wonderful performance from Bill Nighy that might get you thinking about your own mortality and whether your direction of travel is taking you where you want to go. A remake of Ikiru, it also reminded me of Bergman's Wild Strawberries.
