Departures

If you've not seen this fabulous Japanese film, run to your nearest video shop and buy it!


As an appetizer, here's one tidbit that left me guffawing:  the protagonist and a secretary are standing by some caskets, discussing embalming.  The secretary says, "This is a niche market."  (No, the film is not slapstick, though especially in the first part, there's a lot of humor.)
