“Roach proved her fine sense of humor in 2003’s strangely amusing and
\nuncreepy Stiff, her affectionate look at human cadavers. Here, she
\ndelves back into death, searching for scientific proof of an afterlife.
\nShe heads to rural India to interview reincarnation subjects, handles a
\npiece of alleged ectoplasm at Cambridge University’s library, and
\nenrolls in an English school for mediums. Along the way, she asks all
\nthe familiar questions that plague the death-obsessed: ‘What happens
\nwhen we die? Does the light just go out and that’s that…? Or will
\nsome part of my…me-ness persist?… What will I do all day? Is there
\na place to plug in my laptop?’ Alas, she doesn’t find the answers. But

\nher realize that in the end she might not need them.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
