A dark Taiwanese comedy focusing on the juxtaposition of the modern and ancient centered around elaborate funeral rites. It has some humorous moments, and the parts concentrating on the rites themselves were quite fascinating. Sadly, it has terrible subtitles. It also had a few moments of striking cinematography, but the film seemed like it was desperately trying to be quirky when it was just desperate and trying. Overall, a disjointed and poorly edited mess. Now playing at the Cleveland International Film Festival.
