William Parrish, media tycoon and loving father, is about to celebrate his 65th birthday. One morning, he is contacted by the inevitable, by hallucination, as he thinks. Later, Death enters his home and his life, personified in human form as Joe Black. His intention was to take William with him, but accidentally, Joe and William's beautiful daughter Susan have already met. Joe begins to develop certain interest in life on Earth, as well as in Susan, who has no clue with whom she's flirting.
How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A meditation on mortality and human connection wrapped in an unlikely romance, where Death falls in love with life itself. Lush and deliberately paced, it's a film that luxuriates in conversations about meaning and beauty as much as in its central love story.
