If you loved Distance, try After Life
A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.
What they share
Both films are directed by Hirokazu Kore-eda, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Distance, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What After Life is
Eternal paradise as a minimalist bureaucracy where the dead pick one memory to live with forever. Newly deceased souls face a weeklong selection process guided by clerks stuck between paperwork and eternity. Quietly profound, carried by hushed performances and the weight of small choices, it’s peak 90s Japanese humanism.
