Japan's "Departures," a film about a classical musician who prepares bodies for burial, won the Oscar for best foreign language film in an upset over the favored "Waltz With Bashir."

"This is a new departure for me," director Yojiro Takita said while accepting the award. "And we'll be back, I hope."

"Departures" is about a cellist (Masahiro Motoki) whose orchestra is disbanded and, desperate for work, becomes a funeral professional. The win should improve the film's U.S. box office when it debuts in May.


Pada aku, skang ni Mat Salih lagi bangga dengan BUDAYA orang lain, terutama dengan budaya Japanese ni.Or, maybe Jepun2 ni ingat "betapa COOL nye akuhh dapat pakai baju designer Mat Salih". Kenapalah HIROSUE Ryoko tak pakai Kimono kan? Dah alang2 naik stage, rugi betul. Jangan la pulak pakai kain lace kepala panjang bagai, sampai tersangkut kat stage masa nak naik pelamin pulakk yer dak hehehehe..
