The Exterminating Angel has a strange attraction for me. I watch it about every five years or so.

thumbs up from me.

fwiw I watched Ikiru yesterday and it was not as sad as I remember (20 years ago) watching it. It was quite uplifting in the last 30 min. or so.

It is another gem (of course)

Maybe I was too young for it. :) Maybe if I was 80yo when I saw it the effect would be different. :) I just dunno...
Maybe it is the time I should try again. ;)

      favorite scenes of Kurosawa's. It was enlightening to see them wake up to what happened. Even his dimwitted son eventually got it.
      
      I hope my words make sense and you enjoy it if you do decide to watch.
