Before We Vanish

Sent as advance scouts for a planned invasion, three extraterrestrials possess the bodies of a faithless husband (Ryuhei Matsuda), a young man (Mahiro Takasugi), and a teenage girl (Yuri Tsunematsu). As they move among the populace--absorbing concepts of human behavior by stripping them away from those they encounter--they may find cause to reconsider. Masami Nagasawa, Hiroki Hasegawa, Atsuko Maeda also star in Kiyoshi Kurosawa’s wry fantasy parable. 131 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack: Japanese; Subtitles: English. In Japanese with English subtitles.
