After Life - 1998 - 7/10
AKA - Wandafuru Raifu // ワンダフルライフ
Welcome to the afterlife. New arrivals are given one week.
They have one week – one week – to choose one memory to retain.
One memory from a lifetime, before they move on. To where? No one knows.
One moment, and all other memories are wiped clean.
As for the memory, the staff does their best to recreate that, and the recreation is what the deceased hold onto.
This has a documentary feel. Arrivals deal with their new situation, a temporary one.
Worse, the decision is agonizing at times.
Thought provoking, forcing viewers to wonder what event they might select.
