Before We Vanish
Arrow FilmsProlific Japanese filmmaker Kiyoshi Kurosawa (Pulse) returned to Cannes with this genre-bending mashup, both a darkly comedic sci-fi and a slow-paced action spectacle.Three aliens on a reconnaissance mission to Earth take over the bodies of human hosts to explore the world they re about to invade. On the way they steal individual concepts from the minds of anyone who crosses their path, from work, to free will, to love, leaving behind them a trail of soulless bodies. In doing so they start to unwittingly define the essential aspects of what it means to be human. The film follows Narumi (Masami Nagasawa, I Wish), whose husband, Shinji (Ryuhei Matsuda), becomes one of the three hosts. As the invasion grows nearer, Narumi s attempts to save humanity from extinction become increasingly entwined with Shinji s decision on whether to save the humanity within himself.Combining the best of Kurosawa s genre stylings with his forays into dark family dramas, Before We Vanish sees the director delivering a twist on the classic Invasion of the Body Snatchers narrative by recontextualising it in a disconnected modern world. Presenting a unique vision to how invasions have been portrayed in popular culture in the past it asks the question, how much is humanity worth, if we ve become too alienated to be able to recongnise the aliens among us?Special FeaturesHigh Definition Blu-ray (1080p) presentationOriginal 7.1 DTS-HD Master AudioOptional English subtitlesThe Making Of Before We Vanish, an 53-minute featurette including on-set footage and interviews with cast and crewInside The Story and Inside The Characters, two featurettes with cast and crew interviewsLooking Back, members of the cast reunite to discuss memories of the productionRed carpet interviews from the Cannes Film Festival premiereCast and crew Q&As from four screenings including the Japanese premiereTrailerReversible sleeve featuring original and newly commissioned artwork by Tommy Pocket
