A diverse group of people arrive at a drafty institution where they are offered condolences on their recent deaths and told they must select a treasured memory which will be recreated on film and recollected for eternity. Shot in a semi-documentary style, without special effects, AFTERLIFE is possibly the most convincing film ever made on the subject of the hereafter as well as a fascinating commentary on the link between movies and memory. Directed by Hirokazu Kore-eda (MABOROSI). (1999, 118 min., in Japanese w/English subtitles)
