Watching it tonight after losing a friend. The same clarity, the same ache, love, work, and language that outlast the body. I’m thinking of my own elders, and of the men who taught me how to keep going.

The Wake of Calum MacLeod | National Screen Institute A lonely storyteller will do anything to have his grown children return home - even if it requires staging his own funeral.

The Wake of Calum MacLeod, a small, perfect Canadian film. All in Gaelic, from a story by Alistair MacLeod. Eight minutes of precision and restraint; nothing wasted, everything true.
