After seeing the film last night, I totally see why critic Peter Hartlaub of the SF Chronicle labeled it the "The standout..." as I too found it such an odd juxtaposition exploring dying and living combining the angst of death and human comedy. If you are to see one single movie up for an Acadamy Award Oscar, see Tuba Atlantic. Your first view of the Death Angel at death's door sets the pace of tears and laughter. I found the film similar to an earlier piece of work from that region titled "Kitchen Stories" - another of my favorites. This movie blew my socks off and because so few actually get an opportunity to view "shorts", I am purchasing a copy of the film to share with friends.
