A24’s new film, “Eternity,” delves into a unique take on the afterlife where Elisabeth Olsen’s character must choose between her husband and an ex-love for all of time.
Welcome to the Afterlife Junction
Ever wondered what happens after life? A24, known for its distinct and thought-provoking films, brings us “Eternity,” a movie that offers its own intriguing vision of the beyond. Directed by David Freyne, the film introduces a “junction” – a sort of bridge between life and eternity.
This vibrant, Wes Anderson-esque world is where recently deceased individuals arrive. Their crucial task? To decide how and, more importantly, with whom they will spend the rest of eternity.
Larry’s Eternal Arrival
Miles Teller stars as Larry, who finds himself suddenly pulling up to this colorful junction. Confused and sporting some impressive sideburns, Larry tries to grasp the reality of his new, deceased state. He’s assigned an “afterlife coordinator” who guides him through the unique rules of this pre-eternity waiting room.
Soon after, his wife, Joan, played by Elisabeth Olsen, also arrives. Unlike Larry, Joan seems more at peace with their new existence, readily accepting that her earthly life has concluded.
A Celestial Love Triangle Unfolds
Just as Larry and Joan are celebrating the prospect of spending eternity together, a major twist emerges. Joan’s ex-husband, Luke, portrayed by Callum Turner, makes his unexpected appearance at the junction, complicating their eternal plans.
The trailer hints at a positive and even blissful depiction of the afterlife. It also shows that those at the junction get to “preview” various eternal destinations. Joan is seen spending time with both Larry and Luke in different scenic settings, clearly grappling with the profound choice before her.
Both men lay bare their cases. Luke seemingly plays the role of the charming first love, while Larry desperately tries to remind Joan of the reasons she fell for him in the first place. It sets up a fascinating romantic dilemma set against an otherworldly backdrop.
