Ikiru/ Akira Kurosawa

[charlie2]

Hi,
My question is about one of the movies directed by Akira Kurosawa "Ikiru". Have I got the name right? It is about a civil servant discovering the meaning of life before he dies of cancer.
What does the name of the movie mean in Japanese, please?
By the way, I don't speak the language.

ikiru means to live/to be alive. Or to exist (for animate things). Depends on context.
