RTVarietyJul 4, 2006

Though directed in different style, thematically, this period movie is a companion piece to King of New York and The Bad Lieutenant, forming an urban crime trilogy and representing Ferrara's best work.

RTLessons of DarknessMay 29, 2006

A psychologically strung-out tale stuffed full of ideas and inspired moments.

C

Critic

RTTime OutJan 26, 2006

A brilliant, very visceral piece of film-making with an infectious strain of morbid humour.

The Funeral is yet another fresh take on the gangster flick.
