Yojiro Takita's movie simultaneously tickles tears of mourning as it wrings laughs about the meaning of life.

Very deserving of the 2009 Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film.

It will resonate with anyone who has ever buried a loved one and struggled to reconcile the myriad emotions--grief, anger, helplessness. Which is to say, everyone. And yet out of this premise comes glop. Departures needed a little more work in the morgue--like cutting to the bone.

This is the first time I greatly disagree with a o Scott, I abslutely loved this film. Nothing ground breaking but makes you care that much more about humanity in all its essence, emotional and powerful in a humble way.

Though this film is about the preparation of corpses for cremation, it is in no way morbid. What it is is a touching, wonderful film that is worthy of the Best Foreign Film Oscar it received.
