   I've never seen Kore-eda's After Life (in Japanese ワンダフルライフ, Wonderful Life, surely no coincidence), so I put that right tonight. It's strange but very beautiful, and not without a lot of humour, especially around the very low-tech filming of the dead people's chosen memories.

   It packs in quite a lot - the role of memory, the function of cinema and the limits of our imagination, without ever feeling didactic or dry. And it's pretty unsentimental given the subject matter, although there are scenes where you may shed a tear or two.
