Chronology
Follow a singer who suddenly dies on tour in Japan, but her spirit lives on as she embarks on a journey to find humanity in the afterlife. The Singapore premiere, which also marks the film’s Southeast Asian premiere, is set to be co-presented at the 40th edition of vOilah!
At the very beginning of the film, we are introduced to three characters who have lost touch with both impulses, as defined
Spirit World is a multi-layered film that explores two very human impulses: one, the creative instinct that drives artists, and two, the emotional need for family ties. Singer-songwriter Claire (Deneuve), Yuzo (Sakai) – a former songwriter turned piano tuner – and his estranged son Hayato (Takenouchi), an anime director whose greatest work now seems to be behind him.
in life to find a solution to the unresolved issues of life
For these three characters, it takes decisions and actions taken during and after death. This is, of course, a highly idealized perspective on this universal question – what happens after we die?
The spirit world answers this question in a very realistic, matter-of-fact way
By abandoning the fear of the unknown and choosing to help the living, the selfless quest that the main characters take for our sake results in the fulfillment of their own humble desires. It is a life-affirming message from the Spirit World: that creative impulses can bear fruit to heal family bonds when pursued with selfless intent.
From a technical perspective, Spirit World ticks all the boxes for audience engagement
The sympathetic performances draw you in, the beautiful landscapes (and seascapes) of Takasaki and Chiba provide pure eye candy, and a tribute is paid to the musical artists of the 60s and 70s, a golden age of creativity that may never be witnessed again. A sweet and heartfelt cinematic adventure for anyone who has felt the pull of creativity and the love of family.
