Theme: The Afterlife


The afterlife refers to filmic depictions of the place that souls are assumed to travel to after death. In that most fantastic cinema is made in the USA, the predominant depictions of the afterlife on screen draw on an implied Christian dualism where souls either go to Heaven or Hell. That said, there have also been a number of visions from alternate religions and mythologies, plus many others that come from a non-religious viewpoint.

Cinematic depictions of the afterlife range from the cliche of a nebulous realm of clouds tended by angels to more sober attempts, including a number films about attempts to scientifically explore the afterlife. There are various other comedic and blackly comedic treatments, showing the afterlife to be very different to what people expect.
