From Stage Time
AFTER.LIFE is a psychological thriller with the sensibility of a 21st century PSYCHO. In this intriguing journey into seductive terror, Anna is a young woman trapped between life and death, and Eliot is a funeral director who appears to have the gift of transitioning the dead, but who might be a psychopath intent on burying her alive. Director Agnieszka Vosloo trained with the modern masters such as Roman Polanski and Krzysztof Kieslowski, and has recently been listed in Filmmaker
Magazine’s “25 New Faces to Watch.”The film will be screening at AFM on Nov. 7 and 8 – perhaps sometime after that we’ll get word of some solid distribution; count on it coming out in 2010 though.
From Jo Blo
“After.Life” will have its world premiere on Saturday, November 7th in Los Angeles as part of the “AFIFEST 2009″! You can learn more about the festival at AFI.com…
When are the dead in fact dead? In its pleasure at simultaneously embracing and sending up horror genre conventions, AFTER.LIFE suggests that the line between the living and the dead is thin indeed. Christina Ricci and Justin Long (fast earning a reputation as the busiest man in American movies) play a sophisticated couple on the emotional razor’s edge: Paul wants to tie the knot, while Anna is hardly ready for the leap. What neither count on is the sudden presence in their lives of Liam Neeson’s undertaker, Eliot, who claims to have a gift of talking with the dead. The truth of the matter is something that first-time feature director Agnieska Wojtowicz-Vosloo—fresh off her acclaimed short, PATE—enjoys toying with. But the most fun is watching Neeson discovering fresh variations on a ghoulish role of the kind that was once the province of Vincent Price.
