After Life (1998)

After Life is a 1998 film written and directed by Hirokazu Kore-eda. It premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival on September 11, 1998.

The film is set at an ordinary looking office building which exists in the afterlife, taking in people who have recently died. After extensive interviews regarding the life they have just led, they’re given the option to take any one memory with them into their next life. Once they’ve decided, an in-house film crew goes through the decidedly non-ethereal process of filming a reenactment of the event for the person to view before moving on.
