A dour dark comedy about Hasidism, death, burial

A dour dark comedy about Hasidism, death, burial rituals, decomposition, and pigs with an act that wears thin about halfway through despite its originality.

Rohrig delivers a deeply moving performance, while Broderick

Rohrig delivers a deeply moving performance, while Broderick adds dry humor as a hapless biology professor. These two makes it really enjoyable

This seems to me like an indie, somewhat

This seems to me like an indie, somewhat niche film but its one I definitely enjoyed. It features very quirky characters (Shmuel and Albert) who are unlikely 'buddies', to put it one way! the unlikely situations they find themselves in, relating to Shmuel's late wife, are quite amusing. I liked the young jewish children too - how they investigate things they find out. Its very quirky, amusing and even somehow thought provoking, borderline poignant, as far as discussions about death is concerned. I thought Matthew Broderick did pretty well as a somewhat socially awkward college lecturer, trying to justify what he's doing. I suppose its a little like a contemporary Burke & Hare, to a small extent. Very strange, very quirky, yet certainly amusing, in a darkly comic way. Yes I'd recommend this film.
