I have planned on watching Departures at the 2011 Eiga Sai film festival this year with a friend. However, the influx of people who lined up to watch was just insane. Not that we didn't try. We queued up about an hour before they gave out tickets. There were just too many people who showed up, and we were about 50 people behind the last one who was given a seat. Oh well, we'll probably try it next weekend or another day within the week.
