If you loved University of Laughs, try The Funeral

A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.

What they share

Theysit in Comedy / Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to University of Laughs, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What The Funeral is

Itami trains his satirical eye on the rituals of death. A family gathers for a traditional Japanese funeral after the sudden passing of its patriarch. What follows is a send-up of social expectations, with just a touch of familial warmth.
