A Brief Introduction to the Film Funeral

The film "Master of Embarrassment" tells the life of Japanese funeral workers. The film observes all kinds of deaths and stares at the caring people around the deceased from the perspective of a novice funeral.

Based on Japanese writer Nobuyuki Aoki's novel Diary of a Lost Husband, directed by Y?jir? Takita, starring Masahiro Motoki, Tsutomu Yamazaki, Ryoko Hirosue, Kazuko Yoshiyuki and Takashi Sasano. The film was released in Japan on September 3rd, 2008, and on October 29th, 2026, the original version of "Sorry" in 4K was released in Chinese mainland.

The cellist Lin Dawu (Masahiro Motoki) lost his job due to the dissolution of the band. He and his wife Kobayashi Mika (Ryoko Hirosue) left Tokyo and returned to their hometown of Yamagata Prefecture. However, even in Yamagata, it is still difficult for Kobayashi to find a job without practical skills. Age is not limited, high salary is guaranteed, and the actual working hours are very short. We are looking for a travel assistant.

Introduction of wonderful chapters

An eye-catching job advertisement attracted Dawu, but when he rushed to NK office with the advertisement, he learned that it was misleading. We need to find someone to be an assistant to people who go to that world. The boss of this company, Sasaki Rong Sheng (Tsutomu Yamazaki), explained the nature of his work to Dawu. The so-called "travel assistant" is actually the undertaker, who is responsible for putting the body in the coffin and making up.

Dawu Kobayashi hesitated for a long time, but he accepted the job. He vaguely told Xiao Lin that he was an assistant at weddings and funerals, making her think she was a wedding assistant. The transvestite youth left his young daughter's mother behind and kissed his dead grandfather countless times. In all kinds of deaths, Kobayashi Dawu gradually fell in love with the job of undertaker. However, after Xiao Lin Mi Xiang knew the truth, she quarreled with him.
