Every so often a motion picture will cross your path that stuns you with is visual images and the depth of its thought. A piece of art that separates itself from the realm of "movie" and is deserving of the term "film". Okuribito is one of those rare gems.
In its subtle portrayal of a young man caught between what he thinks he wants in life and what he actually needs, Okuribito accomplishes what many modern movies do not... a film that touches your very soul.
