Accuracy of Death
The Japanese film Accuracy of Death is a little slow moving (or perhaps that is because I saw the midnight show…), but quite entertaining all the same. It is a little bit like Meet Joe Black, though the story takes a somewhat different twist.
I recently read the novel The Book Thief, a story narrated by Death, and this brought the Japanese film to mind again. Death gets a different representation in each of these three pieces, Meet Joe Black, Accuracy of Death, and The Book Thief, and it might be interesting to consider the three in connection and contrast.
Either way, Accuracy of Death is a nice film, with some interesting things to think about. It might be better to watch it a little earlier than I did, though, because its slow pace is harder to follow the further you go into the wee hours of the morning.
