After Life Reviews

I start this review by saying that, to me, is the director Koreeda most important recent Japanese cinema and going farther east. May not have a style as recognizable as in the case of other colleagues, but his film is rich in proposals, always stimulating and far-reaching.

Leaving aside personal beliefs, "After Life" is an interesting reflection on life after death. His base argument does not offer any sort of "saves". It seems that all players are in a kind of purgatory, where those who might play the role of angels are also subject to their particular atonement. Beyond Earth but terrestrial, recognizable in the form (a dilapidated building like a school) is the space where all the action of the film. Full chaired by a snowy environment, cold, without apparent emotion, but with an argument as warm as embers of passion still lurking in the interior even of those heavenly beings condemned to their thankless task.

Paced content, but well sustained, the film is reeled proposals is slipping offering suggestions of all kinds, without falling at any time in manichaeism or easy solutions or interpretations, let alone in stylistic grandstanding, which is much appreciated.

Very original reflections on life and the world of life and time spent, memory, and not so much about death, but it rests the base of the action. The proposed offering is exciting and come to ask: ...are you going to wait to let pass without great emotions of life, without great moments?
