Mortician
Time rating 8.3
130 min - Drama / Music Released in Japan on October 29, 2021
The hand-painted poster of the "Sakura Fall" version recreates the famous scene of Kobayashi and the president entering the funeral with delicate brushstrokes, while using a large number of pink cherry blossoms to reduce the sad tone of the scene, showing the special warmth of the profession of the mortician. Under the large pieces of pink cherry blossoms, there is a serious and calm burial ceremony, wrapping the final farewell of life with tenderness, and a faint feeling flows quietly in the picture.
In a special fan video released at the same time, a young viewer said that he was "in tears almost the whole time" after watching it. More emotionally said in the audience, "After reading and understanding the father, sometimes the father is not close to himself, but the expression is more subtle." I couldn't help but squeeze my father's hand on the side." The film presents the attitude of cherishing the present and embracing life, poking at the audience's heart "not only crying until tears collapse, but crying and laughing in the daily trivialities full of humanity."
