Departures is an excellent film, which depicts the life of a failed cellist who, after losing his job at a philharmonic, desperately turns to work as the apprentice of a local mortician, which leads to all sorts of hilarity.
I managed to catch a screening of it in theaters, when it was first released. If I'm not mistaken, it's the first Japanese film to win an Academy Award. It's a bit of a tear-jerker, but has plenty of comical moments throughout. Definitely worth checking out. |
This didn't really resonate with me when I first saw it, but I've thought about it occasionally since then. Because of that, I've come to regard it as a really good movie. It touched me in the same way a few other japanese movies have: The Twilight Samurai, for instance.

Hi there,
I never got to see this spanish film you talk about, though I know a handful of acquaintances and friends who did.
If you're ever looking for an alternative, a fairly decent choice could be:

"Abre los ojos"
Abre los ojos es una película hispano-franco-italiana de 1997 dirigida por Alejandro Amenábar. Está protagonizada por Eduardo Noriega y Penélope Cruz.
César (Eduardo Noriega) es un chico guapo y rico al que le gustan mucho las mujeres pero muy poco el compromiso. Sin embargo en la fiesta de su cumpleaños se enamora de Sofía (Penélope Cruz), la acompañante de su mejor amigo, Pelayo (Fele Martínez). Nuria (Najwa Nimri), una antigua amante de César, movida por los celos provoca un accidente de coche en el que ella fallece y César queda completamente desfigurado. A partir de ese momento su vida cambia por completo, convirtiéndose en una horrible pesadilla
En el año 2001 se rodó en Estados Unidos Vanilla Sky, un remake de Abre los ojos en el que Penélope Cruz volvió a interpretar el papel de Sofía, cambiando su trasfondo como mimo y actriz en prácticas por el de bailarina clásica.
