Before We Vanish (DVD)
Directed by Kiyoshi Kurosawa
Ryûhei Matsuda
Hiroki Hasegawa
In his 20th film, acclaimed horror director Kiyoshi Kurosawa reinvents the alien invasion movie as a profoundly human tale of love and mystery. Three aliens travel to Earth on a reconnaissance mission to prepare for a mass invasion, taking possession of human bodies and robbing the hosts of their essence – leaving them all but unrecognizable to their loved ones. Equally hilarious and thrilling, BEFORE WE VANISH reminds audiences of the strength of one of Japan's most distinguished film auteurs, and the value of the human spirit.
