Departures (2008)

Okuribito / おくりびと

Information

Description

Daigo loses his job in Tokyo when the orchestra in which he plays the cello disbands. He decides to move back to his hometown with his wife to start over.

When he finds a job offer in the newspaper looking for someone to “assist with departures”, he sets off for his soon-to-be new job – where, however, he works as an undertaker, a type of work that is still socially ostracised in Japan today. Daigo accordingly finds himself facing difficulties in telling his wife and his social circle about the new job …
Daigo verliert seinen Job in Tokio, als sich das Orchester, in dem er Cello spielt, auflöst. Er entschließt sich mit seiner Frau zurück in seinen Heimatort zu ziehen, um dort neu anzufangen.

Als er in der Zeitung ein Stellenangebot findet, wo jemand zum »Assistieren bei Abreisen« gesucht wird, macht er sich auf zu seinem bald neuen Job – wo er allerdings als Bestatter arbeitet, einer Art von Arbeit, die in Japan bis heute sozial geächtet ist. Daigo sieht sich dementsprechend vor Schwierigkeiten, seiner Frau und seinem sozialen Umfeld von der neuen Tätigkeit zu erzählen …
Testo di CG Home Video:
Quando l’orchestra in cui suona il violoncello a Tokyo è costretta a sciogliersi Daigo, ormai disoccupato, decide di tornare con la moglie nel suo paese natale; qui trova un’inserzione interessante per un lavoro che ha a che fare con il concetto di "partenza".Quando si presenta al colloquio si accorge che quelle partenze erano in realtà "dipartite" e che il proprietario dell’azienda, il signor Sasaki, è un elegante cerimoniere tra i pochi capaci, nel Giappone evoluto di oggi, di riprodurre con passione e maestria un rituale tradizionale fatto di grazia e devozione. Daigo accetta la bizzarra proposta e ben presto questo lavoro si rivelerà un’ottima occasione per riflettere sulla vita e su ciò che ci attende. Tuttavia la moglie di Daigo non sa ancora nulla della nuova carriera del marito..
