Vital is a Japanese film about a man who was in a car accident and wakes up with amnesia. He goes home with his parents and slowly begins to get flashes of his life before the accident. He finds a stack of medical books in a storage space in his room and remembers that he was scheduled to go to medical school. He takes the exam and enters medical school. He meets another student and she becomes interested in him. He moves out of his parent's home into a dingy apartment close to the school. As time passes he remembers he had a lover and that he was expected to go into med school but he didn't want to. He remembers she was in the car with him when the accident happened. Soon he begins the dissection part of the anatomy course. He realizes that the body is that of his dead lover and he is tormented by this knowledge. He seeks out his dead lover's parents because he can't see this as just being coincidence. Eventually he comes to terms with everything. It's a weird film in parts. Slow and the lead character hardly speaks but says so much with his eyes. Tadanobu Asano plays the lead character and he is such a chameleon. However, this is a film that needs to be watched more than once because there are several layers to the film. I liked it but didn't get it. I would rate it 6.5-7/10.
