Its like entering another world. The fact that the profession is ostracized is similar to the US culture but very different. The reverence and lack of denial of the experience is quite beautiful and rarely understood until one allows them to experience death and life in its entirety. The US film that comes close to this joy is Mr Lonely where John Candy plays a mortician. I love films that take you inside their culture. Its like entering another world.
