Is this Purgatory?
14 January 2024
Warning: Spoilers
Two recently diseased souls find themselves in Purgatory in the embodiment of an airport. X-Files's David Duchovny and You've got Mail's Meg Ryan team up in this hauntingly cryptic tale about the lives we've lived and our ultimate judgement when it's all over.

Throughout the film a higher power is heard speaking to the characters in the film directly. And a chorus is frequently heard whispering frightening moans through the transitions of scenes.

The higher power in the film is portrayed in the form of the airport's public service announcer, who can hear and respond to the only two charecters in the airport. When there are other people in the scene, they do not react or speak to our main protagonists. Infact, Meg Ryans charecter is seen trying to speak to an airline employee who is an unresponsive entity disguised as a human or former soul.

I found this film to be highly effective and hauntingly lonley. At the end of the day this is an extremely bizarre film no matter how you view it.
