Get Low
From Netflix reveiw:
"Oscar winners Robert Duvall and Sissy Spacek team up to tell the true story of irascible Felix Bush, a backwoods Tennessee loner who planned his funeral in 1938 while he was still around to attend -- and enjoy -- the proceedings. Director Aaron Schneider's deft blend of dark humor and poignancy also stars Bill Murray as Frank Quinn, the huckster owner of a failing funeral home, and Lucas Black as his dubious assistant."
Robert Duvall observing his own funeral plus Bill Murray sounds like a comedy along the lines of Huck Finn or "Ned Devine". But, this isn't even a dark comedy. It is a performance driven drama. Robert Duvall is one of the few actors that can develop a character that is very low key and of few words yet, so fascinating that you can't get enough of him. One of Robert Duvall's best works.
Highly reccomended.
