This is one of those rare character portrait movies, that are so wacky and witty, yet STILL remain so true to life and humanlike, simultaneously.
The movie "Sideways" by Alexander Payne, often came to mind when watching this, because it had that same kind of mix of melancholy and wit. It had even the same kind of laid back, soothing, cheery soundtrack, which is quite the right music vibe for this story.
This movie has got so many colours. It's not a true drama though, but more of a witty, soothing character portrait of 2 brothers, who have had a VERY bad childhood and who (because of it) were messed up for life by the sadistic mindgames of their sadistic father.
And now when their much hated father is dead, they have to literally dig his grave, because that was one of his last wishes.
What happens next is so endearing and out of wack, yet so humanlike and true to life, that I can only applaud the writing and direction of this wonderful movie.
Bravo!
