Departures- Okuribito (2008)
An excellent film from Japan, by director Yojiro Takita. Departures is the comical and dramatic story of an unemployed cellist who finds work cleaning and preparing the deceased for burial. A splendid meditation on humans and their destiny. Oscar for best foreign film of 2009. One of my best films in the last (many) years. An absolute must.
