Departures

I remember a few years ago my mum put on a movie for her and myself to watch. The movie was, and still is, called Departures. The movie later went on to win for Best Foreign Language Film at the Oscars that year.

It is a beautiful story and I highly recommend anyone who has not seen it yet to go out and watch it. I do not wish to give anything away but I will say this. Departures shows the culture aspects of death. All of the preparations and social reactions to death. I think that anyone in Archaeology of Death should watch it. If only to see how the living interact with the dead and to see a work of art.

Below you will find the trailer. I hope you enjoy.

 
Until then,
