| What if, in your town, suddenly all of the dead returned to life? You'd problably grab a gun and shoot 'em in the head, right? Well, this isn't a zombie flick, despite the fact that the dead are returning to life, not as rotting corpses with the munchies, but exactly like they were before they passed away. So, the question is: how do the families and loved ones, who have been grieving and mourning those who have gone, cope with their return? How do the "ressurected" come back to society?
It's an interesting question, and the idea, as a whole, is also very good, but unfortunately the film isn't quite as engaging as this idea might make it seem. It becomes too sentimental (spoiler alert: and that last J-Pop concert completely killed the mood for me). I enjoyed some of its moments, the more quiet and subdued ones, and the cinematography was okay, but in the end, I think this could have been a much better movie. |
