The movie "Living" is very good. It's about a salaryman in London who learns he has a short time to live (not really a spoiler since it's in the trailer etc.) and is strangely uplifting. I went especially because the lead was played by Bill Nighy. I love his acting.
There were many symbolic elements in the film. It's sort of a "Brokeback Mountain" for the geriatric Britophile.
