Nine Days

Director: Edson Oda | Cast: Winston Duke, Zazie Beetz, Benedict Wong | Winner Sundance Film Festival Waldo Salt Screenwriting Award, R (Language)

In a knockout feature directorial debut from Edson Oda, Nine Days is an ethereal and evocative film about the meaning of life. In it we follow Will, spending his days in a remote outpost watching people going about their lives, until one subject perishes, leaving a vacancy for a new life on earth. Soon, several candidates – unborn souls – arrive at Will’s to undergo tests, facing oblivion when they are deemed unsuitable. “A life-affirming epiphany, “Nine Days” is cinema of a higher calling, spiritual without denomination.” —Carlos Aguilar, LA Times
