Wandafuru raifu (After Life)

We watched this last night in my film class and it was just wonderful. After death, people are sent to a place where they pick their favorite memory from their life which is then filmed. The catch is this will be the only memory they will take to eternity, everything else is erased. The director, Hirokazu Koreeda (who also did Nobody Knows) interviewed 500 people asking them what would be the one memory they would take with them after death, and some of the actual footage from these interviews are used throughout the film. It's definitely a bit slow but this doesn't keep it from being completely engaging.
