Weekly Rochester Events #690 Starting Thursday, March 29, 2012
The Dryden Theater at George Eastman House (900 East Ave.) will be showing Wandâfuru raifu (After Life) starting at 8 p.m. From the Eastman House calendar, "in a crumbling way station located somewhere between Earth and Heaven, a group of recently deceased men and women have only a few days to decide on a single memory within which they will spend eternity. Assisted by 'counselors' who then make films based on the chosen memories, the travelers reflect on their lives before making choices that are both surprising and heartbreaking. Though largely a work of fiction, director Koreeda includes numerous real-life interviews for a poignant analysis of how we remember our lives."
