A very dark comedy, A FRIEND OF THE DECEASED is the surprising story of a well-educated but unemployed translator, Tolla, who discovers that his successful wife is planning to leave him. Unable to find a decent job, Tolla takes a drastic step that leads him, almost accidentally, into a world of casual crime and unusual punishment. An engagingly original plot that defies all expectations. A FRIEND OF THE DECEASED is wry, wise, and always unpredictable. Notes: In Ukrainian. Director: Viatcheslav Krichtofovitch. Actors: Alexandre Lazarev, Tatiana Krivitsaia . Color. Country: Ukraine. Subtitled. (I.A.S. now located in Old McMillan 254.)
