Celebrated filmmaker Patrice Leconte (Monsieur Hire, Girl on the Bridge, Man on the Train) shifts gears for this gleefully grim, Burtonesque animated musical. In a near-apocalyptic city ravaged by severe climate change and a perpetually morose population, the Tuvache family preside over the Suicide Shop, whose stock of rusty razor blades, well-knotted nooses, ritual swords and poisonous pests makes it your one-stop shop for doing away with yourself. When the Tuvaches' youngest son Alain comes into the world, however, the family is in for a nasty surprise: no matter how much his morbid parents and sad-sack siblings try to get him to look on the dark side, he remains incurably cheerful and optimistic — and thus a disgrace to the family name. What is the family to do with a kid who has no desire for death? How will their business — er — survive? Adapted from Jean Teulé's 2007 novel and replete with ghastly gags, droll animation and pithy lyrics set to merrily malignant melodies, The Suicide Shop garlands its wildly disturbing premise with gossamer black humour.
