About

You can stream After Life (1999) on Criterion Channel with a subscription.

On a cold Monday morning, a group of counselors clock in at an old-fashioned social services office. Their task is to interview the recently deceased, record their personal details, then, over the course of the week, assist them in choosing a single memory to keep for eternity.

A quiet, melancholic stillness settles over this gentle afterlife office where the dead sort through their pasts. You will find profound beauty in the way these bureaucrats help souls select one precious moment to carry into eternity.
