This Way Up

Release date: 2008 (United Kingdom)

This Way Up refers to the way we ought to carry a coffin in this short animation from the United Kingdom that follows two undertakers in their journey to lay a woman to rest. Directed with nods to Dante’s Inferno by Adam Foulks and Allan Smith, and done in a stunning and strange Edward Gorey-esque style, the story follows the two undertakers through this world and the next as they succumb to the vagrancies of Fate. Strange and macabre yet still funny, it is unlike anything you’ve seen.

My rating 9 out of 10.
