Much Ado About Dying

As it turns out, eccentric Uncle David, a retired actor living alone in a cluttered, mouse-infested London house, is being dramatic, sort of: For the next five years, Chambers both cares for and documents him, through all his performative exuberance and anarchic charisma, as various people possibly take advantage of him. As their lives become encumbered by hospital visits, a house fire, and Britain’s inadequate eldercare system, the younger man reflects with aching honesty on what may await him in the years to come, in this moving yet hilarious film.
