Departures (Okuribito) the winner of the Best Foreign Language Film Oscar. A majority of the outdoor locations were shot in Sakata city, Yamagata Prefecture. The house/cafe used by the main characters is about an hour away in Kaminoyama city also in Yamagata Prefecture. According to my relatives who live in Kaminoyama, my grandfather who was a carpenter built this building. The interiors used in the movie were shot on a soundstage.

Sunday Morning on CBS is the best show on T.V.
Thanks to my DVR, I can always catch this show. The show has been on since 1979 and covers everything from the current news to the arts in a very low key manner.
This is the opening from 1979.
Here are some videos from the programs home page.
