The Funeral / int_43a831db	comment	Epic Tracking Shot: A peculiar tracking shot that lasts over a minute starts at the head of the coffin as the funeral director is messing with a microphone. It then follows the microphone's cord on a long and winding path across the floor all the way to the porch outside, where it leads to a loudspeaker.

The Funeral / int_fe0330fb	comment	Brick Joke: The dimwit uncle can't figure out which way north is (his brother's head needs to point that way) even when the others show him which way is west. He continues to try and figure it out as the others have a conversation. The film then cuts to the next scene when Wabisuke and his brother-in-law are drinking and discussing arrangements with the funeral director—only for the uncle to wander in again, still trying to figure out which way is north.
