Another Swiss film. In a way, this is a story of two son's love of their mother. Erik and Thomas Haemmerli arrive at the apartment of their recently deceased mother and take on the onerous task of sorting through the piles of junk she left behind. Thomas is a journalist and tries to dissect the history of his mother using the cold detachment associated with most journalists. What results is both comic and tragic. I enjoyed this film knowing, sadly, how one day we will all be faced with the same task of cleaning out our own parent's homes. Seven Dumpsters and a Corpse will make you consider what you will leave behind once you're gone.
My rating 6 out of 10.
