Question Last year I saw a comedy on IFC about a woman who falls in love with a local mortician. Together, they plan and stage her death of falling over a cliff while dancing. She then has to go through with an open casket funeral requested by her rascal of a husband. It may have been set in England. I would love to see it again but cannot remember the name. Can you please help.
Answer Hi Kathleen, the movie you are looking for is called "Plots with a View".
From the user comments: "A humorous voyage into the normally somber funeral business. It's easy watching, and even offers Blethyn & Molina stealing a scene from an old Fred & Ginger movie. Walken is over the top as a zealous competitor of Molina in the undertaking business, trying to bring a new style to an old Welsh town. We see a couple of very funny examples of the "new style". The plot thickens with Pugh having an affair with Watts, and her suggesting that they do Blethyn in. Meanwhile Molina has rekindled his long suffering romantic feeling for Blethyn, and convinces her to fake her death so that they can run away to the South Seas, and dance away their days together. During the "fake" funeral Blethyn learns of her husbands' infidelities and plots her revenge."
