Landscapes with a Corpse

Japanese photographer Izima Kaoru asks his subjects one question: How do you want to die? By following the artist on a journey to create new work, we find that the answers to this question are revealed in the fears and joys of both artist and model.

Directed by Donato Rotunno, Landscapes with a Corpse leans on a strong ensemble — Yusuke Hirayama, Tanja De Jager, Christian Dalimier — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about documentary titles of 2014.
