The film is 75 minutes long and was shot in black and white super 16mm film. It is not about a funeral attendant mourning a lover he never knew and whomever wrote that may have not actually seen the film. See IMDB for plot info. The films story felt easy to understand though the film is extremely minimal. This is one of the most interesting, beautiful and totally original films I have ever seen. With that said, Vincent Gallo remains the most talented and original filmmaker the United States of America has produced in 20 years.
