afterlife (1998)


aka Wandâfuru raifu.
"Yamamoto san, thinking back over the fifty years of your life..."
The film follows a number of Councellors whose job it is to welcome the recently deceased to their facility. It is their job to recreate one memory from each of the dead. This will be the only memory they take with them into eternity and thus needs some considered thought, but one man has trouble deciding.
A thought provoking and languid film that explores the art of memory. Ponient, happy, sad, stories are laid out for us to ponder upon, and inevitably ponder upon our own life and memories.
