Warner Home Video is delighted to announce the much-anticipated DVD/VHS releaseof Six Feet Under Series One on 9th June 2003.
Launched on Channel 4 in 2002 to outstanding critical acclaim, this ground-breakingseries from Alan Ball, the Academy-award winning writer of American Beauty,takes a darkly comic look at life and death from the perspective of a dysfunctionalfamily that runs an independent funeral home in California.
Winning three Golden Globes in 2001 including Best Television Series, six EmmyAwards in 2002 and nominated for four Golden Globes this year, Six Feet Underis a quality comedy of the absurd realities of life.
When a bus kills Nathaniel Fisher, owner of the Fisher & Sons Funeral Home inLos Angeles, his family are left to address the business of grief management,while at the same time managing their own grief and getting on with the businessof living. But events such as a messy end for a bakery worker, a much-mournedloss of a larger-than-life porn star and a death of a Mexican-American gangmember ensure that this business rarely runs smoothly…
“Six Feet Under is sheer heaven…a sublime mix of insight, observation and pitch-black humour” – The Times
