That’s the question at the heart of Hirokazu Kore-eda’s (Shoplifters) revelatory international breakthrough\, a bittersweet fantasia in which the recently deceased find themselves in a limbo realm where they must select a single cherished moment from their life to be recreated on film for them to take into the next world. \n\n\n\nDubbed as one of the “great humanists of the cinema” by Roger Ebert\, Kore‑eda’s documentary-like approach to the high-concept material was shaped through interviews with hundreds of Japanese citizens. What emerges is a panoramic vision of the human experience—its ephemeral joys and lingering regrets—and a quietly profound meditation on memory. \n\n\n\nScreened in Japanese with English subtitles. \n\n\n\n \n Director: Hirokazu Kore-eda\n Year: 1998\n Country: Japan\n Runtime: 119 minutes URL:https://cstpdx.com/event/after-life/ CATEGORIES:hanabi ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://cstpdx.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/After-Life.jpeg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20260823T130000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20260823T200000 DTSTAMP:20260607T105511 CREATED:20260507T034517Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260507T040046Z UID:10002310-1787490000-1787515200@cstpdx.com SUMMARY:The Maiku Hama Trilogy DESCRIPTION:Portland premiere of the new 4k restorations! \n\n\n\nPart of the Hanabi Film Festival 2026.
