Review by GNantes

Uncomfortable topics if there are any, one is death. Not the one that was long awaited, but the one that comes suddenly, which is the worst of all. Death fills us with sadness: it is the memory of absence, which often leaves great pain, which never disappears. Eventually, the second death comes, which is oblivion. That said, talking about death is not easy. Talking seriously about death is not easy. Today, we see it everywhere, it invades all blockbuster movies and those that are not. So, this documentary, at times presents dense silences, that can be palpable, like the meditation of someone who stands solemnly saying goodbye in front of a coffin. Also, it shows the total irreverence of whistles, of performative hums, of an irony that takes away all importance from the fact of dying. Although I consider that the director's attempt is a good attempt, perhaps the documentary fails to have an axis that is capable of containing the content of the information it develops. Maybe it's not their fault, because we can only say and talk about death from life. In the years to come, this documentary may represent the figurehead that opens up space for a topic as moving and fascinating as this one.
