Plot
Follow a singer who dies suddenly while on tour in Japan, but her spirit lives on and she embarks on a journey to find humanity in the afterlife. The Singapore premiere, which is also the film’s Southeast Asian premiere, will be co-screened at the 40th vOilah!
One, the creative instinct that drives artists, and two, the emotional need for family bonds
Spirit World is a multifaceted film that, at its core, is about two very human drives. Early in the film, we are introduced to three characters who have lost touch with both drives as defined: singer-songwriter Claire (Deneuve), Yuzo (Sakai) – a former composer, now a piano tuner – and her estranged son Hayato (Takenouchi), an anime director whose most acclaimed work now seems to be behind them.
Spirit World answers that question in a very realistic and practical way
For these three characters, it takes decisions and actions taken in death and in the afterlife to find resolution to life’s unresolved issues. It is, of course, a highly idealized take on that universal question—what happens after we die?
From a technical standpoint, Spirit World ticks all the boxes for audience engagement
By setting aside fear of the unknown and making the choice to help the living, a selfless pursuit that, for our protagonists, results in the fulfillment of their own humble desires. This is the life-affirming message of Spirit World: that the creative impulse can bear fruit in healing family ties, when exercised with selfless intent.
A sweet and heartfelt cinematic experience for anyone who has felt the pull of creativity and the love of family
The sympathetic performances draw you in, the beautiful Takasaki and Chiba landscapes (and seascapes) 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.
