After Life

After Life (1998) starring Aarata, Erika Oda, Susuma Terajima. Japanese fantasy film about workers at a way station for the dead, who spend one week with the newly deceased and help them choose one best memory from their lives, which the agents will then film and send on with the dead to the afterlife. The dead will then spend eternity experiencing this memory, and forget about the rest of their lives. It's an interesting conceit, but I found this movie to be pretty limp and not terribly engaging. It's in Japanese, with English subtitles. Grade: C
