For all my depressed friends out there...
I must recommend the Akira Kurosawa film I just finished: Ikiru Kind of an epic, (to be honest I got it through Netflix in March and just now finished it). Heartwarming tale of an old fuddy-duddy businessman who gets diagnosed with cancer and finally "gets it." The acting is all in the main character's facial expressions. Fantastic film. Well worth the 2+ hours of can't-look-away-'cause-there-are-subtitles time.
