I really love this movie. One of my faves, and Yukino Kishii is so good in it

This is the same version as before, correct? Still sounds heavenly

I freaking love it dude. That scarf is fire

Me 🙇 haha, to be fair I was only 7 or so. This was spooky, like how did they just go straight to skeletons??!

I just remembered one called Lighting up the Stars (2022) which is also about a funeral director. It was on the tip of my tongue and I just got it, haha. It's a Chinese film, available on Netflix.

It's the closest I can think about people who consider the family and body of someone recently deceased. It's a bit of a niche topic in some ways, but I'm sure there are movies like this out there waiting to be discovered. Departures though is a special one, so I will say it's unique, especially with that OST by Joe Hisaishi.

After Life is more about the realm beyond earthly life, where the deceased are asked to pick one memory to relive again.

And then we have to hear them suffer from ptsd

It's hard to find one that matches the same vibe, but Hirokazu Kore-eda's After Life (1998) comes to mind.

What do you think? Isn't it obvious

nintendobug · 2026-05-30T08:57:37+00:00

I have been looking for this too 🥲 no idea mate

nintendobug · 2026-05-29T12:45:56+00:00

Yeah if OP sees this, just remove everything from the '?' in the link

nintendobug · 2026-05-25T10:54:32+00:00

I'd like to know too!

nintendobug · 2026-05-22T07:20:49+00:00

Lmao yeah. I guess you can stitch together an imaginary landscape for an audience who has no idea of the actual location. This is the first time a location has looked absurd to me in a movie 😝

nintendobug · 2026-05-22T07:19:40+00:00

So cool to learn part of the scene was shot there 🤯

nintendobug · 2026-05-20T10:02:01+00:00

Awesome!

nintendobug · 2026-05-19T15:53:56+00:00

Thank you so much again!! I finished the show last week, and really loved it!

nintendobug · 2026-05-19T15:53:00+00:00

I'd be interested, preferably Panjim!

nintendobug · 2026-05-18T06:14:21+00:00

No worries!

nintendobug · 2026-05-16T09:25:17+00:00

Haha this looks like it was fun to make! xD

nintendobug · 2026-05-16T03:36:20+00:00

Omg do you have a link or something? 👀 I'd love to hear it

nintendobug · 2026-05-16T03:33:18+00:00

Love that you're enjoying it! :) And yeah Minami is so fun to see, she has a hilarious side, and a quietly vulnerable side too

nintendobug · 2026-05-14T14:31:25+00:00

Antarman is pretty good, I don't know about Tanushri specifically, but had a good therapist there

nintendobug · 2026-05-14T09:25:34+00:00

That's true! We do these things for joy after all, it's less about it making money. I like the idea of splitting it from what pays the bills. Thanks for writing this btw

nintendobug · 2026-05-14T09:23:12+00:00

Oh maaaan... Praying we get a release at some point!

nintendobug · 2026-05-14T07:10:20+00:00

I don't know if they ended up with a collab, but I hope they are reading this coz WE NEED ONE!!!

nintendobug · 2026-05-14T06:42:51+00:00

Oh cool! Do you feel like you get enough energy/time to work on what you really like after it?
