An interesting meditation on dying, on memory, on how we construct views of the world and of other people. The medium of film is used within the narrative to lead us towards the consideration of what's real and what's not, explicitly through the idea of re-cutting a film, of editing out things to produce a certain vignette of a person - in a sense that's what we're all doing, all the time, and Goodbye, Eri does a good job of highlighting that aspect of existing as a human being, with all the mental schema and post-event reprocessing that that includes. An ambiguous ending that serves to reinforce its core themes and gives the reader something to chew on tops off this short but thought-provoking journey through life and death.
