Jangryesigeui member (members of the funeral) (Page 2)

JANGRYESIGEUI MEMBER successfully balances an existential immediacy with subtle humour. While attending a young high school boy's funeral, a married couple and their teenage daughter reflect upon their own personal relationships to death. Slowly each of their individual connections to the dead boy emerges. Apparently he had been writing a novel entitled “Members of the Funeral”, where the troubled nature of a family is laid bare, triggered by their attendance at a youth's funeral…Seung-Bin Baek's impressively controlled debut feature filters a darkly droll family drama through a prism of literary associations.
