About the movie:
Daigo Kobayashi (Masahiro Motoki) is a devoted cellist in an orchestra that has just been dissolved and now finds himself without a job. Daigo decides to move back to his old hometown with his wife to look for work and start over. He answers a classified ad entitled "Departures" thinking it is an advertisement for a travel agency only to discover that the job is actually for a "Nokanshi" or "encoffineer," a funeral professional who prepares deceased bodies for burial and entry into the next life. While his wife and others despise the job, Daigo takes a certain pride in his work and begins to perfect the art of "Nokanshi," acting as a gentle gatekeeper between life and death, between the departed and the family of the departed. The film follows his profound and sometimes comical journey with death as he uncovers the wonder, joy and meaning of life and living.
Ppl comment for dis movie:
"Departures is a beautiful and touching film about life and death. The film started with a little humor that had me amused in first hour, then I was slowly drawn into the story that turned to be a very touching and deeply film."
"A profound beutiful film,worthy of it's Oscar award. Masahiro Motoki is perfecy as Daigo and Tsutomu Yamazaki as his mentor. The music is sweet and tender,specially the piece Daigo plays on the open field,awesome. This movie is pure beauty,an elegant and very emotional tale about life and death,with a few very funny moments,and one of the few perfect endings I've ever seen! Another great masterpiece from Japan! "
