The Petoskey Film Theater will be showing the foreign film "Departures" on Wednesday, January 20, 7:30 pm at the Petoskey District Library, Carnegie Building. Donations are welcome. "Departures" won the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film.
"Departures" is surely the gentlest, sweetest movie about death that you will ever see. A cellist named Diago comes to the rueful conclusion that he's not talented enough to make a career as a musician; having just returned to his hometown with his wife Mika, he answers a job ad for what he thinks must be a travel agency...only to discover that company prepares bodies to be placed in coffins. Fearful of his wife's response, he hides his new job -- but as he grows to appreciate his boss and the affect that the humbling ceremony of cleaning and dressing the deceased has on their families, Diago discovers that he might have a calling.
"Departures" won the 2009 Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film, and it's easy to understand why. Though it starts out quietly and even seems slight, it gradually builds in emotional power, layer by layer, until scene after scene at the end is richly moving. Particularly affecting is the performance of Kimiko Yo, the secretary of the company, who harbors a troubling secret. A few moments of over symbolism push the movie from compassion to sentimentality -- but every time "Departures" seems to have lost its footing, a scene follows that strikes all the right notes so deftly it resonates like a bell. A truly marvelous movie.
