"The Funeral" is a moody and highly atmospheric 30's set gangster film directed by the brilliant Abel Ferarra. It's the story of two gangster brothers coming to terms with their younger brothers death and attempting to find who was responsible for it. Flashbacks reveal his communist views as well as the brothers violent childhood. It won't be for those with a short attention span as flashbacks etc will make it seem confusing if you don't follow it closely. The cast and performances are top notch but don't expect shootouts or high octane action sequences. You'd be better of watching Ferrara's best known gangster film the excellent "King of New York" if you want something more energetic and fast paced. Sadly this dvd release contains no extras but it's very cheap and definitely worth picking up.

The sad and the ugly 6 July 2005

I saw this film by pure accident. It's magnificant. At no point does this film glorify the mob, or their actions. I am not truely a fan of the director, but this should be considered his magnum opus. I found the acting to be superb, I think it's such a shame that Chris Penn doesn't get as much notice as his older brother, for he is very talented. Even if your not a fan of mob movies you should check this out, it worth your time.

This incredibly twisted family drama is extremely hard going on the viewer.The plot involves three brothers,one of which is killed.The remaining brothers try to work out who the killer might be.What starts out as an inticing mystery evolves into full-blown greek tragedy.The pace is slow but the direction slick.However,those unfamiliar with Ferrara's work are advised to start elsewhere,maybe "The Driller Killer" or "King Of New York".Certainly tough and uncompromising,this is not an unrewarding film.The cast are all excellant and the perverse charm of the film is enticing.Also,there is nothing scarier than big Christopher Walken with a big axe.
