"Wristcutters: A Love Story," Croatian filmmaker Goran Dukic's debut feature, adapted from Israeli writer Etgar Keret's short story "Kneller's Happy Campers," is a sweetly grim lark: a road film through Limbo. It takes the self-pity associated with ending one's life and uses it for the purposes of mordantly aware comic fantasy. There are life lessons learned here, but the blackhearted gag is that everyone's already dead, so it hardly matters.
Filled with unexpected turns (even miracles), and displaying dark sensibility and absurdist humor, "Wristcutters: A Love Story," is strangely enough an upbeat movie, celebrating the preciousness of life rather than death.
"Wristcutters: A Love Story" has an offbeat, absurdist charm that turns a potentially creepy conceit into an odd, touching adventure.
It is rated R and has a running time of 91 minutes.
