"We Must Burn Mom", by and with Albert Dupontel: an absurd theatrical closed-door play in a funeral home

The film "Il faut brûler maman" by Albert Dupontel presents a family of undertakers dealing with their mother's death amidst a strike. The characters include Fernand, the slow-witted son, and his two sisters, Emilie and Judith, who have different relationships with their deceased mother. The film, initially promising as an absurd comedy, suffers from a weak script and sentimentality, failing to engage the audience fully during its premiere. The character Klimek, a striking employee, adds humor but the overall execution lacks depth.
