Departures


Hilary and Ian brought this movie over on Saturday night. It has won a lot of awards and is a very beautiful film! It is about this man in Japan who wants to be a great Cellist. When his orchestra is disbanned, he has to sell his cello and move back home to the house his mother left him when she died. In his pursuit for a new job he comes across a position that is very much looked down upon in Japanese culture. As he pursues this new career he gets an insiders perspective on death and respect for the dead. I LOVED this movie and think you should definitely see it.

I assume you have added it to our Netflix list. You are a good movie manager.
