I saw this film on Saturday, and liked it alot. It's a tale told in images, in the looks that pass between people, in the washed-out 1930's landscape and the haunting music. At its heart lies a secret that is held until the very end of the story. Robert Duvall seems to be an angry wrecked hermit, but just beneath the surface there is life in them old eyes. Sissy Spacek plays cautious, warm-hearted and beautiful: a lady from his past.
Lucas Black is wonderful as the young Funeral assistant hired by Duvall to plan his "living funeral." Bill Murray is the slightly sleazy funeral director, who may run off with the goods ... or stage a funeral the community and the deceased will long remember. I stayed till the last credit, just to hear the great bluegrass score .
