Dying

Matthias Glasner’s epic and darkly funny melodrama about a very dysfunctional family.

The Lunies family has not really been a family for a long time. Lissy Lunies, in her mid-70s, is quietly happy when Gerd, her husband who is slowly wasting away from dementia, is put in a care home. But her new-found freedom is short-lived: diabetes, cancer, kidney failure and the onset of blindness signal that she does not have much time left herself. Meanwhile, her son Tom, who is a conductor, is working on an orchestral composition entitled “Dying” with his depressive best friend Bernard. His sister Ellen begins an affair with a married dentist who shares her passion for intoxication. After they are confronted with death, the estranged family members finally meet again.

"Matthias Glasner’s crisscrossing family drama manages to be exceedingly funny, often in some of its darkest moments, as well as expectedly sad" - Leslie Felperin, Hollywood Reporter

“…terrifically watchable and entertaining.” – Peter Bradshaw, The Guardian
