Departures

Okuribito  (IMDB)
(2008)



I started watching this film last year and I have no idea why I stopped after 10 minutes or so, probably having been distracted.
I recorded it when it was on Film4 recently and regretted not having watched it a year ago.
What a brilliant film.
It is sometimes funny, always moving, never dull.
And that’s a shame it only won best foreign film at the Oscars in 2009, and not best film as it is far superior to Slumdog Millionnaire.
In my humble opinion.
