The Funeral (1984)

[DukeTogo84]

Just watched this and haven't seen it close to 20 years? Either way, I remember finding it a lot more humorous than I did this time around.

My aunt died a few months ago, so a lot of this reminded me of that experience, and maybe I just wasn't in the right state of mind, but the movie felt a lot more morbid than I would have liked. When the worker at the crematorium started talking about how they have to lower the flames when burning the bodies of babies, it felt very disturbing.

Still, a well made film, although the random sex scene felt a bit gratuitous. As for the disc, looks great. I hope we don't have to wait another 5 years before Criterion releases one of his films.
