Review of Departures (2008) by Medinap — 02 Aug 2009
Departure rightfully deserves its Academy award for best foreign language film. Even more deserving than the much touted Waltz with Bashir and The Class. This is what cinema is all about. The direction, music score, cinematography, editing, sound, production design and of course, the acting are SUPERB.
The film has a profound impact on me. The ending was unforgettable. Some of the so-called critics should stop lambasting feel good movies which promote positive values and exhibit the triumph of the human spirit.
The magic of Departures is in its simplicity. It is heartfelt, mesmerizing and impeccable.
