I saw the film not about death, but the profound respect for life. I think those in witness rediscovered the value each person holds and the cause for celebration the living must not forget. Culturally unique presentation conveying a universal language of love and loss.

I might agree that there are moments where it dips into melodrama, but to me it didn’t become excessive. I thought the main characters, the wife less so, were fully competent. Subdued, yet they each brought a level of mystery. Your contributions on the films asylum are always noted. I was surprised we didn’t agree on this one. I will watch it again, but I thought I saw a great film the first time.
