El Biffo's rating of the film The Farewell Party
El Biffo

Medical science can keep us alive long after our bodies and minds have ceased to be useful. So are we now obligated to prolong our suffering? The right-to-death issue is one that is more and more relevant with every medical advance. This film deals with the issue in a serious way, although it also happens to be a musical comedy. The funny parts are hilarious and the serious scenes touch the heart.

Um filme fantástico que provoca várias gargalhadas, mas que acima de tudo honra a tristeza que é viver. Tudo isto é levado a um outro patamar através de uma excelente cinematografia, um acting extraordinário e uma realização confiante.
