“Shinigami no Seido,” transliterated as ‘Accuracy of Death‘
- Yours truly’s first (full-length) Japanese movie, that i am blessed to watch with a dear soul. ;)

The movie’s a beautiful piece of work, with a softly nuanced treatment of a heavy-yet-pivotal theme as ‘death’ in humanity – or should i say “not special, yet very important” (as in the words of the lead cast towards the beautiful closure of the movie)?

Although the movie’s plot is deftly interwoven by (beautiful, i’ll insist) coincidences – which detractors may choose to pounce at – yours truly loved the way the directors & cast chose not to delve in extraneous possibilities the plot could have otherwise taken.

Lovely theme track, and laudably nuanced performance by the lead cast.
As in the words of my dear chum (Thanks, dear one!), it remains beautiful since it allows for much “depth” – and by this, allows for the deserved space for an exploration of complex issues of our identity as death.
