Jack Black turns in a career best performance in Bernie, a true crime comedy where small town gossip, religion and the world’s friendliest killer converge to make for brilliantly funny and tragically heartfelt viewing.
A story so unbelievable it must be true.
In one of the most bizarre real-life twists imaginable, convicted murderer Bernie Tiede has been allowed by a Texas judge to leave prison on bond – provided he lives with Hollywood director Richard Linklater, who made a film about him.
ges-sa.com | "Stuck in a small town, everybody knows everybody’s business but nobody really knows Bernie. In a small town called Carthage, down in good old Texas there is an guy called Bernie Tiede the local assistant Mortician. Loved by all of the community, no one could find fault with him. Now Bernie becomes friends with the recently widowed Marjorie Nugent, who is considered by the rest of the town as cold and really unpleasant. They basically got joined by the hip, travel all over the world, expensive gifts. But this came with a price…..Almost no social life, constant nagging, until one day when Bernie just popped. And just like that old Marjorie became a Popsicle. This is the most unbelievable story it must be true."
