赫尔克里士

　　A dysfunctional family's heart of darkness is laid bare in the grimly humorous and then just plain grim meller "Members of the Funeral." Feature bow by Baek Seung-bin heralds a dark wit and sleek intelligence guided by a creatively secure humility. A standout from the substandard HD fodder that generally clogs up Pusan's New Currents competish and so-called cutting-edge fests, "Funeral" is quietly riveting. A tad too restrained for midnight sidebars or commercial release, pic possesses an intensity that should secure fest berths.

上世纪40年代初期，德国攻占英国前夕，瑞士的里克特男爵向英国大使凯利建议采取和平态度，因为抵抗纳粹无异于以卵击石，而凯利却拒绝接受他的建议，并宣称英国将抗战到底。英国当时的处境极其险恶，陆军在刚刚结束的法兰西战役中损失惨重，英国本土仅剩下780门火炮、160门反坦克炮和200辆坦克。空军也在战役中受到重创，损失了约1000架飞机，牺牲了435名富有经验的飞行员。英国皇家空军上将道丁已经察觉到一场大战迫在眉睫，他需要更多的飞机和飞行员。不久之后，丘吉尔首相宣布大不列颠之战正式开战。
