There are other movies with similar titles, plus a Ricky Gervais series with the identical title. It's two words, not one, note carefully.
This is a Japanese movie about the afterlife, except in this film, you're not rewarded OR punished, or sent back. Instead, you have to choose one scene from your life that you want to take with you into eternity. Then they recreate it for you.
A comedy documentary (how many of those are there?) where Phil Rosenthal, the creator of "Everybody Loves Raymond" and current star of "Somebody Feed Phil" takes his scripts to Russia, so they can remake the series with Russian actors. A hilarious exploration of what's funny in different cultures.
The Ricky Gervais series was very good, but much too abbreviated, in my opinion. Great concept with fascinating characters that I would have liked to observe for an extended period.
I'll have to see if I can find the After Life you've recommended. Is it on Netflix, Amazon, or any other streaming platform like Roku?
I have a post about this, but I'll refrain from promoting it here since Ted's asked.
Instead, a couple movies that you've almost certainly not seen:

I watched After Life a few weeks ago because of this comment. Thanks for the recommendation!
happy to hear!
You can download a spreadsheet of 300 films we showed, in my post https://albertcory50.substack.com/p/culture-at-google-part-one-the-movies
You slipped that in quite well, while not crossing Ted's borders.
well, the view count on that post didn't jump at all, so I think I obeyed the spirit as well as the letter of the law.
Loved the Japanese, After Life! Highly recommend.
