At least I think it's a film, there is is tiny chance it could be a tv show and an even tinier chance it might be a play.

It's an older film - easily pre-1990 probably more likely 60s/70s but very unsure. Definitely not recent (not 2000s).The only thing I can remember is that the ending was a few people (not many,maybe 2 - 4 people) in a very white brightly lit room, a type of waiting room but very formal with more formal straight backed chairs. The implication at the end was that they were all dead and this was some sort of afterlife.

In my mind, it had a very similar feeling to the hotel room scene at end of 2001 Space Odyessy but it is definitely not that film I am thinking of. The feeling was slightly creepy, not sure what's going on. This scene had a similar 'bright white' feel to it as the space ship scenes do in that film.

I've asked AI and it's suggested the Cube or 2001 Space Odyessy but it's not those. Has anyone got any ideas what I am thinking of?

Soylent Green possibly?

A Matter of Life and Death?

Some episodes of The Twilight Zone? AI said Dead of Night?

I don't think it's any of those. I haven't seen Soylent Green as far as I know.

My experience with AI is that it is very poor at identifying anything other than the most well known books or films. If you ask it for something more obscure it just invents something.

After Life? Japanese film?

The Plot: Recently deceased people arrive at this station and have one week to choose one single memory from their life to take with them into eternity. Once the memory is "re-created" on film, they move on and forget everything else.

There's a Japanese arthouse film on the afterlife, can't remember what it's called so before I go on a fruitless search could it be Japanese or do you not watch Japanese arthouse @findmeafilm?

Or could it be Defending Your Life (1991): Stars Albert Brooks and Meryl Streep. It features "Judgment City," which is very clean, orderly, and beige/white. Characters stay in a hotel-like environment and sit in formal hearing rooms (with straight-backed chairs) to defend their life's choices before moving on.

These are both suggestions from AI Gemini

Snap! Yes I thought it might actually be called After Life, I was remembering it as I typed!

In theory it could be. I have watched Japanese films but thought it was more likely to be a European or American film. I don't think it was subtitled but this is a very partial memory for me. I feel like there might be a station involved so this isn't a bad thought.

I will have a look for this. I'd be surprised if it is this as in my memory the actors are white not Japanese but plot wise it sounds possible. Thanks for suggestions.

Loved that film and often think about it even after all these years.

Doesn’t Beetlejuice have a scene like this where the couple have to go to, to learn how to be dead?
