After Life [Criterion Collection Blu-ray]

At a modest way station between life and the afterlife, the newly dead are given a few days to choose a single memory, which a staff of counselors will recreate on film so they can relive it for eternity. Gentle, funny and deeply moving, Hirokazu Kore-eda's film blends real interviews with fiction to ask what makes a life worth remembering.
