I Live in Fear

One of Kurosawa's most resonant contemporary dramas, I Live in Fear finds Mifune as a middle-aged father and husband whose absolute fear of nuclear annihilation forces him to plan for his entire family to relocate to South America.

A compelling critique of Cold War anxieties, the film is also a scathing look at changing family attitudes in Japan, as the Mifune character's children take him to court to gain control of his estate. (103 mins., 35mm)
