Dying at a Hospital

Directed by Jun Ichikawa

With Ittoku Kishibe, Masayuki Shionoya, Akira Yamanouchi, Reiko Nanao and Yutaka Matsushige

Filmed in a documentary style, six patients in six wards of different ages and circumstances await death at a hospital in Japan. The sterile and dismal environment is contrasted against the emotional being of the patients, their visitors and relatives and the outside world, which they will never again survey.
