Comments: A young couple seem to love one another. Then, he is killed in a car wreck. She confirms his death. After some time passes, his body walks again.

Though this sounds like a zombie film, it is not. It's a portrait of timeless love. Also, the animated body is shrouded by a sheet with holes cut-out for the eyes. (Maybe an explanation for many Halloween costumes?)

The film is delivered in a short, narrow format. It reminds me of the format used for old photographs. There's lots of dead time in this movie, too. Though, it does makes sense as one watches the film. A cool, new-to-me aspect is that "ghost time" and real time are not the same. So maybe "hauntings" are not temporally compatible with our lives? This film also suggests why we shouldn't just rip down an old building.

The filming method is noteworthy. There are religious overtones, probably just to help the American audience accept the non-religious concept of the afterlife. I wouldn't pass up watching this film. The longest, slow scene isn't boring, because it features a pair of good legs.
