I Live In Fear, also known as Record Of A Living Being, isn’t talked about a whole lot, despite being Akira Kurosawa’s follow-up to Seven Samurai. Quite the departure from hours of intense action, this 1955 film follows an old man trying to get his family to move to Brazil in order to avoid another atomic bomb striking Japan. As you might expect, Toshiro Mifune and Takashi Shimura are both in this one, but you may be surprised which of them is playing the old man… Sanshiro’s Boys are halfway done with their show and here today to discuss the sad backstory behind this film, say goodbye to Kurosawa’s close friend and composer Fumio Hayasaka, and try to figure out if this little-known film is worth rediscovering.
