IFFR 2006 - “Gravehopping”
 |
Excellent movie about.. well.. uhm.. a guy who earns his living by doing burial speeches, a suicidal and widowed father and a sister and her kid who really miss their man/father. But wait, there’s more! Another sister who’s really quite a few fries short of a happy meal and a quiet but cheerful neighbor.
A typical tragic comedy, East-European style!
Plot-wise: wow.. it’s a well balanced set of interacting stories, with intelligent and witty dialogues and scenes. It’s also very brutal in its sadness, the final scene really took my breath away and I immediately checked the audience’s reaction which was very similar.
Conclusion: A cynic would call this a cynical feel-good movie and I’d agree. I loved its ups and downs of happy and sad moments and characters. Very beautiful movie.
