"Death at a Funeral” directed by Neil LaBute is a remake of a well-known British black comedy, directed by Frank Oz, that released in 2007. In contrary to the British production, the scenes of this re-imaging take place in American urban suburbs. The grieving family gathers together to farewell their beloved father and husband and put him to rest. Instead the funeral ceremony causes lots of shaking incidents around this death. It comes to digging up family secrets carefully hidden before, including the sudden misdirecting of the body, scandalous revelations and not only.
The death becomes the reason to arouse the unexpected conflicts within the family, ending up with disastrous consequences. The funeral ceremony turns out to be not a last farewell to the person who has passed away, but rather a sorting out the family relationships in the most disgraceful way, ever possible. All negative emotions of people gathered under the same roof are manifesting now, including threats, blackmail, indignation, resulted in absolutely scandalous mayhem.
The comedy laughs at people vices, caricaturing human attitude to such notions as Life and Death, showing their total disrespect not only to each other, but to the dead member of the family as well.
