The Undertaking is a fascinating slice of life that dives deep into the world of Thomas Lynch, who wears both the poet's hat and the undertaker's. It’s not your typical documentary, more of an intimate exploration, really. The pacing has this contemplative flow, allowing you to soak in Lynch's reflections on death and life. The atmosphere is heavy yet warm, creating a space where you feel the weight of his words. Lynch’s own readings are sprinkled throughout, giving it this personal touch that's hard to shake off. There’s a distinct blend of humor and solemnity here; it’s like he’s guiding you through a tunnel of thoughts that feels both uncomfortable and strangely comforting. The visuals are understated, which complements the themes beautifully.
