Aviel Shapira

Thrilling, intense, sometimes mysterious, and yes. Dark.

Although a movie about dying, it is not sad. It shows that when the end is near, patients with a terminal disease in Japan go through exactly the same process which Elizabeth Kibler-Ross described 25 years later in her study of the process in Chicago. It depicts the denial, followed by self-pity, then anger, and finally acceptance and peace. One of the most insightful movies of all time.
