How We Die

About This Movie

How We Die (also known as Memento Mori) is one of those documentaries that takes you down a path not many dare to tread. It’s a mix of stark visuals and contemplative narratives that explore post-mortem arrangements in a way that feels both intimate and unsettling. The pacing is deliberate, allowing you to really sit with the weight of the subject matter, and the atmosphere—well, it's hauntingly beautiful. It’s not just a study of death, but a reflection on our relationship with our bodies once they’re gone. There’s a rawness to how it presents these themes, and it’s hard not to feel a connection to the stories shared. Not your average doc, that’s for sure.

This documentary has seen limited releases, which adds to its intrigue for collectors. It's not widely available, so finding a physical copy can feel like a small victory. There's a growing interest among niche collectors who appreciate films tackling existential themes in a visually compelling manner. It might not be mainstream, but its distinct approach to death and dying does capture a certain audience—those who are unafraid to confront mortality.
