If you loved El cocinero de los últimos deseos, try Despedidas
Un puente entre una película que ya has visto y una que casi nadie ha cruzado. Esto es lo que comparten, y lo que la segunda hace que la primera no hace.
Lo que comparten
Both films are directed by Yojiro Takita, and they both carry the bittersweet, tender mood tags, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to El cocinero de los últimos deseos, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Despedidas is
A small town, autumn, a cello silenced. A young musician returns, his wife by his side, to find work as an undertaker's assistant, preparing the dead for their final farewell. Yojiro Takita finds poetry in the everyday rituals of death.
