Entertainment Reviews:
As his emotional defenses fall away, he is revealed to be every bit as flawed, hurting, and human as those he counsels, making this tale of an iconoclast into something expectedly profound.

Like a haiku, "The Departure" weighs its words carefully. But silences, too, play a vital role here.

Rating: 8/10 --
Though The Departure's initial draw is the novelty...the film is actually a low-key examination of suicide in Japan.

"The Departure" creates its own space cinematically between capturing the life of its subject in vivid detail and offering the transcendent experience of genuinely feeling closer to him.

Description by OLDIES.com:
Ittetsu Nemoto, a former punk-turned-Buddhist priest in Japan, has made a career out of helping suicidal people find reasons to live. But this work has come increasingly at the cost of his own family and health, as he refuses to draw lines between those he counsels and himself. The Departure captures Nemoto at a crossroads, when his growing self-destructive tendencies lead him to confront the same question his patients ask him: what makes life worth living?
