Seven Days in Heaven (Taiwan)
Part black comedy and part family drama, Seven Days in Heaven chronicles the seven-day funeral held for a deceased patriarch (played by Tai Bo from those eighties Jackie Chan films) that's attended by his grown-up urbanite children. The film's humor arises from the smartly observed culture clash between the funeral's traditional Taoist rites and modern values of the children, but it's the universal things - filial piety, grief, change - that give the film its rare and uncommon heart.
