The Departures soundtrack features music by my favorite composer, Joe Hisaishi. I love the music, and it inspired me to see the film. I love the film as well. It has become one of my favorites.

I have seen Running on Empty many times, and every time, it has moved me to tears. I love this film, and I love River Phoenix in this role. This is one of my favorite films.
