The Funeral is all about the dark humor and satirical take on traditional Japanese rituals. The movie centers around the preparations and proceedings of a three-day funeral for the father of a middle-aged woman and her husband. As the family gathers, the film explores the emotional, bureaucratic, and cultural complexities of dealing with death in Japan. What makes The Funeral stand out is its balance of poignancy and humor. Itami uses the funeral as a lens to critique societal expectations and customs while also showing how people find solace in tradition.
