Après la vie
Après la vie
( After the Life; also known in UK as Trilogy: Three) is a 2002 Lucas Belvaux film with his own script.
It is the final installment of a series" Trilogy", which constitutes a melodrama preceded by" Un couple épatant", a comedy and" Cavale", a thriller.
Belvaux referred in the DVD commentary that main idea behind" Trilogy" is that the main characters in a particular story are the secondary characters of others, in such sense the three films happen at the same time and share a series of common scenes and plot points, complementing each other, but also have their own perspective and style.
The audience is left with piecing the films together, which Belvaux avoided, since editing the three films into one single narrative would have resulted in a very long film with no style of its own.
