The June choice for the foreign film series is the Japanese film "Departures" which won the Best Foreign Film Oscar in 2009. Here's the Netflix summary of this movie:
Freshly unemployed, young cellist Daigo (Masahiro Motoki) has an epiphany in which he realizes he's been heading down the wrong career path. Retreating to his hometown, he trains for a new professional role as a nakanshi, or one who prepares the dead for burial. Tsutomu Yamazaki provides comic relief as Daigo's eccentric mentor in director Yojiro Takita's Oscar-winning, richly detailed -- if unlikely -- drama about finding your bliss.
From the paragraph above you will surmise that this is not your ordinary film. It's wonderful. And you'll come away from watching feeling like your time has been well spent.
Films in this series are shown at 7:30 PM in the Fellowship Hall.
