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. - taken from Netflix.com
I remember reading about the making of this movie, and how it was to be based on a true story. I don't know how factual it is, but it made for a good afternoon movie. Robert Duvall pulls off a wonderful role as Felix Bush, and in my opinion, made the whole film. Bill Murray plays a nice shifty, salesman-type of guy as the funeral director, which fits him as well. DEfinitely a 4 star film.
