The Loved One (1965)
great black comedy
8 December 2004
Great great great! I have a big problem with funeral ethics of modern world myself. I think that the whole religious trip covers the phenomenon of death with a dark cover. Death shouldn't be faced like this. I don't know if funeral should exist, but I hate them!

This film, despite being 40 years old, manages to mock the whole thing behind funerals - its a great satire!!! Alright, maybe, it goes too far, not in its subject matter, but losing its focus after a while; still the meanings stay with viewer. The tone is even surrealist dare I say in parts; during the 2 hours it lasts, I wasn't bored one bit! This film is funny and thoughtful!

I recommend this to everyone who isn't spoiled by a 40 year old film, not that it's old fashioned. It's fresh!
