considered to be one of the greatest filmmakers of all time, akira kurosawa's touching and final film madadayo, is the perfect ending to a lifetime of cinematic achievements.
the film follows the las two decades in the life of hyakken uchida, a writer and teacher who retires in the war years of the early 1940w. his students venerate him in his odl age, and join him and his family each year for a ritual birthday party asking "mahda-kai? (are you ready?)" to which uchida downs a big glass of beer and answers "madadayo! (not yet!)," acknowledging that death may be near, but life still goes on.

Professor Hyakken steigt 1943 aus dem Uni-Betrieb aus, um als freier Autor zu arbeiten. Doch seine Studenten halten noch lange Jahre Kontakt zu dem klugen, humorvollen alten Mann. An seinen Geburtstagen trifft man sich stets zur fröhlichen Party... Kurosawas letzter Film ist ein persönliches Werk über Traditionen, Lebensweisheit, Altern und den Abschied vom Leben.
