Realistically Sadly Humorous
Would have gotten nine stars except the characterization of the C.C. prof was more comical than realistic, and any half way adequate collegiate anthropology or forensic taphonomy dept. or natural history museum could have given direction to questions of decomposition. Anyway, sort-of-science meets orthodox Jew (actually an Hasidic cantor) in this at times amusing, at times heartfelt devotion, journey & discovery of soulful death. The pig (other animals have also been time lapsed filmed) cycle of returning nutrients to the earth is a film classic which brings up the question of the effects of embalming chemicals & casket materials.
One of the worst films I’ve seen. Was this a joke?
I saw this in NY at Tribeca. Do not watch this film. I wish there was a way of giving it zero stars because if there ever was a zero star film this is the one. It starts off slow and keeps going until the end when believe it or not you will be wondering what the story had to do with anything. The comedy is not funny. The tragedy is bizarre and ineffective. It must be close to the worst film ever made, and I have watched some poor films in my time but this stands head and shoulders beyond them all. I feel I had a moral obligation to write something so if only one person reads this and does not watch it I have done my good deed for the year. The plot was so poor that it is hard to write ten lines about it. The supporting actors are just so predictable and two-dimensional and the story painfully without direction. Sadly, I don’t think it was intended to be a joke.
