Narrative
The film follows a singer who dies suddenly while on tour in Japan, but her spirit survives and she embarks on a journey to find humanity in the afterlife. The Singapore premiere, which is also a Southeast Asian premiere for the film, will be presented in conjunction with the 40th edition of the vOilah!
One, the creative instinct that drives artists and two, the emotional need for family connections
Spirit World is a multi-layered film that, at its core, is about two very human impulses. At the very beginning of the film, we are introduced to three characters who have lost touch with these two defined impulses.
This is, of course, a very idealized perspective on that universal question: what happens after we die?
Singer-songwriter Claire (Deneuve), Yuzo (Sakai) - a former songwriter, now a piano tuner - and his son Hayato (Takenouchi), an anime director whose best acclaimed work now seems behind him. For these three characters, it takes decisions and actions taken in death and the afterlife to find a solution to life’s unresolved problems.
Spirit World answers this question in a very realistic and pragmatic way
Putting aside the fear of the unknown and choosing to help the living, a selfless quest that, for our protagonists, results in the realization of their own humble desires. This is the invigorating message of Spirit World: the creative impulse can bear fruit in healing family bonds, when exercised with selfless intention.
From a technical standpoint, Spirit World ticks all the boxes of audience engagement
