Hereafter, trailer

(Thanks to Craig Kennedy at Living in Cinema, where I also lifted this iTune synopsis:)

Hereafter tells the story of three people who are haunted by mortality in different ways. Matt Damon stars as George, a blue–collar American who has a special connection to the afterlife. On the other side of the world, Marie (Cécile de France), a French journalist, has a near–death experience that shakes her reality. And when Marcus (Frankie/George McLaren), a London schoolboy, loses the person closest to him, he desperately needs answers. Each on a path in search of the truth, their lives will intersect, forever changed by what they believe might—or must—exist in the hereafter.

The sooner we stop thinking of Hereafter as the “supernatural thriller” it was once purported to be, the less likely we’ll be disillusioned from that false impression. And the more we’ll appreciate the film for what it really is: A mediation on mortality, and the mysteries of synchronicity that chart the paths of our lives by forces some call Fate and Destiny.
