Jessica Chandler directs a documentary examining the funeral industry’s practices and economics, premiered at Tribeca 2026. Featuring narration by filmmaker Eli Roth, the film takes a critical stance toward an often-avoided subject, prompting viewers to reconsider assumptions about death rituals and commercial exploitation. The work combines investigative documentary methodology with Roth’s persona to create what the reviewer characterizes as frank rather than sensational social critique. While conceptually aligned with underground film culture’s interest in institutional critique and taboo subjects, the execution remains within conventional documentary frameworks rather than pushing formal or aesthetic boundaries associated with post-punk or darkwave sensibilities.
