A strange and funnily comic film about a mass suicide!

This film made me "laugh out loud" and also quite sad and introspective too. Equal amounts of both as the journey progressed, both of the audience with the characters, as well as the characters towards their planned accident. There were a few scenes which I wasn't sure came across to the western perspective on a cultural front (mainly the tin can episodes). But the rest was quite wonderful with good characterisation. Well worth seeing!
