The story of a gravedigger who finds out he has only two months left to live

I just watched "Tache" last night on TV. The premise of the movie foreshadowed a black comedy but it wasn't the case. "Tache" lacks the cruelty of this kind of movies, instead being very ironic about the strange ways of life ... and death. After a life in dirt , gravedigger Tache puts all his efforts into leaving this world in glory ,with a sumptuous funeral by which he will be remembered in his small town. The situations created are hilarious , Mircea Diaconu making a great role comparable with the ones in "Filantropica" or "Asphalt Tango". The movie is very fresh and the characters very natural so if you want a movie that looks death in the eye and makes fun of it then you shouldn't miss this one.
