1st watched 6/9/2002 - 8 out of 10(Dir:Jean-Pol Ferbus, Dominique Garny & Thierry Zeno): Excellent documentary about how different cultures prepare their dead. This is almost a how-to film on being a mortician with it's very graphic detail about the process, but this is reality as far as they are concerned and therefore I didn't consider it too much. It WAS very difficult to sit through the whole movie because of the emotions that these scenes conjured up for me and some of the graphic portrayals of embalming, cremation, and death by execution but again this is what this movie was about. I appreciated the portrayals without being preachy about who is right and who is wrong. Documentaries usually do this very well because we only see what is real and not acted out according to the writer or director's perspectives and whims. This is not a SHOCK movie although it was in this section at my local video store, but rather an exploration of a subject(which just happened to be death and dying). It also had some scenes about living with death-causing illnesses and even just living with old age which was an interesting and much needed twist to an otherwise very sobering subject. A kind of wrongly categorized film that probably gets bypassed for this very reason but should be viewed at least once by those with strong stomach's and an interest in this subject.
