Robert Duvall is as great as ever in this surprisingly light reworking of an allegedly true Appalachian tale dating back to the 1930s. He plays Felix Bush, an elderly loner who comes out of hiding to plan (and attend!) his own funeral. He entrusts the festivities to an undertaker (Bill Murray), but the arrival of an old flame (Sissy Spacek) changes the proceedings. With Lucas Black and Bill Cobbs.
