The Loved One
“The motion picture with something to offend everyone!”
Comedy
The suicide of his expatriate uncle draws Englishman and poet Dennis Barlow into California's booming funeral industry.
VIBE
A darkly humorous and cynical look at Hollywood's obsession with image, even in death. It's a sharp, irreverent satire that feels both of its time and strangely timeless, with a cast of unforgettable characters.
