Big Shot's Funeral
Eastern religion collides with Western capitalism inBig Shot's  Funeral, a satirical comedy about a cameraman named Yoyo (Ge You)  hired to shoot a making-of documentary about a world-famous director  (Donald Sutherland), who's creating a sequel to Bertolucci'sThe Last  Emperor. When the director has a stroke and goes into a coma, the  director's assistant Lucy (Rosamund Kwan) commissions Yoyo to organize the  director's funeral. At a loss, Yoyo asks for help from a friend who  promotes concerts--and before long the funeral has turned into a vast  media spectacle with product placement running amok, so absurd that when  the director recovers, he refuses to let Lucy stop the funeral because  he's so enchanted.Big Shot's Funeralentertainingly mixes  sweetness and dark humor as it interlaces a romance between Yoyo and Lucy  with the escalating madness of the funeral.--Bret Fetzer
