Death Is an Asshole

About This Movie

So, 'Death Is an Asshole' dives into some heavy stuff but does it with this raw, almost intimate feel. The way the undertaker and his crew tackle the whole subject of death, like, it’s not just about the tasks at hand but also about their personal reactions—that's where it gets real. It's a documentary that doesn’t shy away from the hard conversations, you know? The pacing feels almost like a meditation at times, allowing you to sit with those feelings of grief and honesty. The visuals, though not flashy, are hauntingly beautiful, and the interviews feel genuine. You really see how they challenge societal norms around death and grief, and it’s quite striking. Definitely something that stands apart in the documentary scene.
