About This Movie
So, 'Song of the Cicada' is this interesting documentary set in Galveston, Texas, and it follows Dale Carter, a mortician, living in a Victorian house. What’s captivating is the way it unfolds over a decade—just this honest, real-life glimpse into his world. The pacing feels almost meditative, letting you soak in the atmosphere of the coastal town and the routines of life and death. You get to meet his friends and family, and there's this sort of warmth in the way he interacts with people. It’s not flashy but rather grounded, exploring themes of mortality and connection. And the practical effects of his work—like how he prepares bodies—are handled with such respect. Definitely a distinctive piece, capturing a unique slice of life.
