Synopsis

This profound and moving feature uses a novel premise to explore what memories truly mean to us. The recently departed find themselves at something like a spiritual processing office, where the main function is to find the single memory that the dead will take with them into the afterlife. Writer-director Kore-eda Hirokazu incorporated the recorded memories of real-life interview subjects into this fictional investigation of what our time in this world really means. "Beautifully shot in crisp, dark, wintry tones with snowy backdrops, and filled with soft humor and deeply moving moments..." (Ernest Hardy, L.A. Weekly). In Japanese with English subtitles. Kore-eda Hirokazu---Japan---1998---118 mins.

A unique story experience. What do we remember, or choose to remember about our past, our life. Serious, humorous, and thought provoking. It is a movie that takes it's time to draw a clearer picture. You must see this film. Rv
