Wristcutters:A Love Story is a new film written and directed by Goran Dukic, a Croatian born director ,and adapted from a short story by the Israeli writer Etgar Keret, it takes a rather offbeat 1 view of the afterlife, it’s set in a world that looks a lot like parts of the American desert southwest, the less attractive parts, which is where people go after they’ve succeed in killing 2 themselves. This is an odd idea for a romantic comedy, but it works surprisingly well, this is a movie that showed up in  Sundance a couple of years ago ,was passed almost unnoticed.


The main character is Zia, played by Patrick Fugit who is still probably best remembered for his role in Cameron Crowe's Almost Famous. He is a young man, who is trying to kill himself after some trouble with his girlfriend Desiree. He wakes up in this miserable 3 afterlife, meets a Russian guy,he is there with whole suicidal Russian family. And they also befriend a young woman named Mikal, the lovely Shannyn Sossamon. Coughing, she is there by mistake, she is trying to find out whoever is in charge, and get the mistake corrected.


The movie is a road picture with the strange surreal feel of black comedy. Its sense of humor won’t appeal necessarily to everyone, but I found it charming, touching 4 and very unpredictable. I think that the moral is best summed up in the line from a Dorothy Parker poem about the perils 5 of killing yourself, you might as well live.
