Perfect Death (2020)
A portrait of a keening woman, a paid female mourner who wails lamentations and sometimes performs dance-like movements and provocative acts in ‘the merry wake.’ She is in a time loop of applying and removing her make-up during and after a night’s work of swallowing the sorrow of others at the club. Consumed in her sequined world of disco ball light, she cuts off her tears, washes her face, and pulls off her lashes in a near violent act of releasing her own grief.

Surprisingly incoherent and boring
Let's be realistic.
A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.
Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.
