Berthe is Dead But It's Okay

About This Movie

So, 'Berthe is Dead But It's Okay' takes you on a rather somber yet oddly uplifting journey. It’s this raw documentary that captures the last days of Berthe, the director's grandmother, who’s decided to take her own life. The tone is this strange mix of melancholy and acceptance. It's not about fighting against her choice but more about redefining support. The pacing feels real, breathing alongside the characters, allowing you to sit with the heaviness of the moment. What stands out are the intimate interviews that add a layer of depth. It’s all very personal, almost voyeuristic, with a stark honesty that some might find confronting. But that’s what makes it distinctive. It’s unfiltered, capturing a conversation we often shy away from.
