After Life (1998) - Hirokazu Koreeda (1080p) w/English Subtitles
Film Synopsis: If you could choose only one memory to hold on to for eternity, what would it be? That’s the question at the heart of Hirokazu Koreeda’s revelatory international breakthrough, a bittersweet fiction in which the recently deceased find themselves in a limbo realm where they must select a single cherished moment from their life to be recreated on film for them to take into eternity. After Life’s high-concept premise is grounded in Koreeda’s documentary-like approach to the material, which he shaped through interviews with hundreds of Japanese citizens. What emerges is a panoramic vision of the human experience—its ephemeral joys and lingering regrets—and a quietly profound meditation on memory, our interconnectedness, and the amberlike power of cinema to freeze time.
