Wristcutters: a Love Story

Movie • 2006 • Comedy  

Report
Zia, distraught over breaking up with his girlfriend, decides to end it all. Unfortunately, he discovers that there is no real ending, only a run-down afterlife that is strikingly similar to his old one, just a bit worse. Discovering that his ex-girlfriend has also "offed" herself, he sets out on a road trip, with his Russian rocker friend, to find her. Their journey takes them through an absurd purgatory where they discover that being dead doesn't mean you have to stop livin'!

The movie is set in the afterlife.
There is a dog, but it's not established if animals just exist there or if the dog also died at one point.

The entire premise is what the afterlife is like for people who commit suicide. Many are shown onscreen.

Although generally tongue in cheek and/or committed off-screen, various depictions of suicide or its aftermath. A sink filled with blood or bloodied water is shown. Later on, two men have cut their wrists and are shown in a bubbling hot tub with reddened water.
