Death at a Funeral


Se há algo que nao é preciso sao demasiados filmes negros e sizudos. Por muito que estes me agradem, há qualquer coisa neles que nunca se adequa a um domingo de tarde. Neste caso específico, essa altura da semana nem precisa de estar ligada a uma comédia berrante de peitos ao léu. Basta pegar nesta agradável parvoíce.

"Daniel is a decent young man, married to Jane, still living at his father's home. When his father dies, it his up to him to organize his funeral. On this painful morning, the suitable grave expression on his face, Daniel is ready to welcome his father's friends and relatives. But preserving the dignity inherent in such a circumstance will be a hard task. Particularly with an undertaker who botches his work, the return from the USA from his famous but selfish brother, his cousin's fiancé who has accidentally ingested drugs, the presence a moron who takes advantage of the sad event to win back the heart (or rather the body) of a woman who is about to marry another, of a handicapped old uncle who is also the most unbearable pain in the neck. To cap it all, Daniel notices the presence among the mourners of a mysterious dwarf nobody else seems to know..."
