Imagine walking into any drab office building to go to work for you government job. One day melts into another and everything seems the same, week after week. It doesn't matter what the work is, it is all the same.
Until you realize that your job is determining how people will spend eternity. This is the clearinghouse people go to to decide what "defining moment" they will spend all time reliving. (For teen age girls it seems to overwhelmingly be Splash Moutain in Disney)
The film is touching, thought provoking and, just great film making. It is a Canadian production with an all Japanese cast (how often would you see that happen in Hollywood?)
The film has been so great a cult hit that it has become an opera.
The movie has a slower pace than you may be used to, but stick it out, this one is worth it! We have seen a lot of movies about Heaven and Hell, but nothing quite so human as this one.
