What do you do in the first seven days after death? In Hirokazu Kore-eda’s movie world, staff from another world will tell you: “Please choose the most precious memory in your life.” The staff will turn the memories into images, allowing the deceased to take this memory with them to heaven…
｜Kore-eda Hirokazu
｜Stills from the movie “Next Stop, Heaven”.
This premise is fantastic and romantic, which attracted the British screenwriter Jack Thorne who wrote the “Harry Potter” stage play to adapt it into a stage play, which will premiere at the famous National Theater in London in 2021. The Hong Kong Repertory Theater brings it to Hong Kong this season. Will you invite Hirokazu Kore-eda to watch the premiere?
