Watch out for this film this spring.
Oscar for this year's (2008) BEST foreign language film went to Japan's Departures, a film about a classical musician who prepares bodies for burial.
It took 15 years the actor Masahiro Motoki to persuage a director to make a film about death, which no one thought it would be accecpted as the theme of a film. The time has changed under the economic crisis and the credit crunch. People started thinking about the life more than ever...
This is a MUST see film this year! I'm going to watch it while I'm in Japan in a couple of weeks.
