A failed cellist connects with his inner undertaker and his rural hometown in this tonally eccentric, lushly scored, movingly funny drama. Crushed at the breakup of his Tokyo orchestra, Daigo retreats to his picturesque northern Japan hometown, with adoring wife Mika in tow, to find his true calling. (psfilmfest.org)

A poignant and at time funny film about death, family, music, love and class. All of these themes wrapped up in a layer of ceremony that Takita (most well known for his pink films) manages to conjure on screen for the viewer.

A movie that makes you laugh, makes you cry, makes you think, and deeply touches you in the soul. It takes you on journeys from death to life and from hatred to love. Japanese cinema always has something touching to present.

A bit bland at times, and the marital conflict felt overblown for dramatic effect.

Quietly uplifting dramedy, sentimental but unconventional story.

A great movie about death, but the montage in the middle kind of killed the movie for me.

Dramatic with a hint of black comedy. Often compared to the series Six Feet Under, but this takes a lighter, more natural approach toward death.

Competently made and memorable for the unusual setting, but a fairly manipulative ending.

Not interesting enough to have succesfully maintain such a slow pace without losing the viewers interest. Probably overrated by most.
