A Japanese movie. I'd like to give out a plot but it's so bloody well made, I would ruin every aspect of the movie, right from the beginning all the way to the end. Everything in the movie is an unexpected turn around and it totally delivers on that front. It's and emotional movie (not a lovey-dovey flick).

Give it a strong [B]8/10[/B]

Re: Departures

Yup very good film. I thought it was mentioned in here and I posted about it before but I can't find the thread. The film grabbed me right from the start with the opening scene and the car emerging from the fog. There were at least two scenes that were really memorable to me but I don't remember the details. I think one of the scene was about a daughter, and another scene had a father in it who said his wife or loved one never looked so beautiful.
