APA Interview with Departures director Yojiro Takita

[tanguman2]

this movie was amazing when i saw it. It takes a look at how a tradition can help a family mourn in their own way. The struggle with his own identity and acceptance of his place in the world. Hope their are loose ends tied up, wanted to know how him and his wife did and what happened to the public bath house. The cello music was superb addition adding both a somber yet joyful quality.

an elegant, devastatingly poignant film. Everyone can identify with some aspect of this, and the emotional payoff is well earned at the end. See it, alone or with your love ones.

Good call. I saw it last night and it was maybe the most singular, amazing movie I've ever seen. A fresh take on life and death. You can see everyone's passion in the making of this movie. This movie will stick with me forever I think
