About this product

Product Information

In Kore-eda Hirokazu's AFTER LIFE, a group of people, recently deceased, arrives at the outskirts of heaven. There they spend a week deciding which of all the memories from their lives they most want to spend eternity in, and heavenly counselors help them in the process. The dead souls help each other come to terms with what was most important to them while they were alive. Shot in a realistic yet slightly dreamy light, this touching and humanistic look at life and death carefully avoids being overly sentimental and is widely hailed as a masterpiece.

  • On life and death

    Director Hirokazu Koreeda has made an intelligent, poignant, humorous film that reminds me of Ozu, with emphasis on ordinary and on family. I'll be watching this one again.

  • One of our best

    I bet I'm not the only one who has gotten hooked on Kore-eda. It's taken awhile to amass the titles that I'd like to see but, once I've seen them I want to see another and another. He's really a consistent stimulating director.

  • One of my top 10 films of all time!

    “After Life” by Japanese director Kore-eda is one of my top 10 films of all time. It’s well-written, well-directed and well-acted - but that’s true of many films. What catapults it into my pantheon of GREAT films is its effect on me: how I remember my past and how I live my life.

  • A rare gem

    I thought I'd never locate a decent copy of this out-of-print title by a director whose later films I have admired. This was better than that - in pristine condition and ready to savor.

  • Unique Filmmakin Style

    Quirky and engaging. Falls into the realm of Cult Classic, just needs more of a following.

    Valuable film to see for anyone who was ever born.
