Abel Ferrara, like his star here, Christopher Walken, is not great well-known for subtley. Don’t earn me detestable, I enjoyed Dreadful LIEUTENANT, but it’s not a particularly morally complex film, and tends to go objective a wee bit over the top to execute its points (which, really, is one of the reasons it’s as impressive as it is — sometimes gallant strokes work, if you’ll pardon an clear pun) . What’s most though-provoking about THE FUNERAL is that it takes characters — gangsters — who all too often are treated in a cartoonish, romanticized fashion, and lends them noteworthy honest complexity. All the gangsters in this film are forced to continually confront their consciences in regard to what they’ve become; the characters played by Walken and Penn in particular are both extremely reflective, fearful men, and favorable, in different ways, of being quite yelp about the suitable ground they glean themselves on. There IS something uneven and choppy about the film — it almost feels like Ferrara was forced to reduce it down from a considerably longer length to satisfy the studio, and there are things I’d've liked to look better developed — but there is simply TOO grand to recommend this film to buy a star away for that. The performances are edifying, and there’s superior opinion attach into a genre too often coloured with crayons. There may well be friendly things to say about GOODFELLAS and all that, but for their ills, this film is the remedy. Highly recommended.
Saw this film this weekend on cable and was wonderfully surprised by the somber atmosphere, striking performances, and the director’s intent to not provide the kind of action and conclusions demanded by the ganster movie genre. This film is not Scorese’s milleau; rather, it offers a familial portrayal about the viral effects of violence within a slight family–and where that compulsion can lead. The cast is wonderful, performances are rich, and the mise-en-scene is perfectly sunless for the subject matter. Be patient, and be rewarded.
