On September 27, the 4K restored version of the movie "Entering the Mortician" announced that the mainland was scheduled for October 29 and released a final poster, which was the first time that "Entering the Mortician" appeared on the mainland big screen.
The final poster of "Entering the Mortician" was designed by Huang Hai and the theme was "Born like a summer flower". The poster can be viewed from two vertical and horizontal angles, representing life and death respectively, implying that "life is like the splendor of summer flowers, and death is like the quiet beauty of autumn leaves." ”
Directed by Yojiro Takita and co-starring Hiroya Motoki and Yuki Yamazaki, "Entering the Mortician Division" was released in Japan in 2008 and won the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film. In addition, "The Mortician" has also won 22 awards and received 5 nominations around the world, and Chinese netizens have rated the film as high as 8.9.
The film tells the life of a Japanese mortician, observing death from the perspective of a new mortician, and getting close to the relatives and emotions of the deceased.
The newly unemployed cellist Daigo Kobayashi mistakenly became a mortician, and in order not to let everyone know, he lied that he was an assistant to the wedding ceremony, so that everyone thought he was a wedding assistant. After working for a while, Kobayashi gradually liked his job, and at the same time, his real work was also known to everyone, and there was a contradiction.
It is reported that the reason for the filming of the film is that the male protagonist Hiroya Honki wants to play a mortician, he and the main creative team visited many temples, and had a detailed exchange with a number of morticians, and did a lot of data collection before producing the script of the film.
"Entering the Mortician" explores the relationship between life and death in depth, and also allows more people to understand the profession of the Mortician, and more people realize the meaning of life. Although it is a Japanese film, it has moved audiences around the world.
Looking forward to the 4K restored version of "The Mortician" to meet you!
