This was such a delicate story. Beautiful music and deeply touching acting. Like Michael Haneke, very fine and attentive! Departures is exploring some very interesting themes. The use of color and light, especially in the interior scenes, is amazing. Truly breathtaking performance from the lead actor, and very well shot. Recommended!

The story is touching and moving. A very intense short film with splendorous acting, photography and direction. It's pure, simple and relatable. Valeria Cavalli is graceful and assured in her role as the wife, while Giorgio Colangeli's anguish and longing give extra weight to their love story.
