Beyond Goodbye (2024, Japan)

Director: Hiroshi Kurosaki

Writer: Yoshikazu Okada

Mini-review:

I feel divided about this. On the one hand, the cinematography is really nice and the locations are downright stunning. And the entire cast is great too, especially the leads; these roles play to all of Kentaro Sakaguchi's and Kasumi Arimura's particular strengths. On the other hand, the plot didn't fully convince me. The conceit makes for a very interesting portrayal of grief, but the whole thing was just a bit too... odd for me. It didn't help that I kept feeling bad for the male lead's wife, even if the central relationship isn't exactly a romance, not with the foundation it's built on. So yeah, I can certainly appreciate Beyond Goodbye's aesthetic, acting and directing, but I'm not quite too sure about the rest.

'Perfect Days' – finding serenity in the urban world on Hulu
