"While not for the squeamish, this series of three short films by Melissa Hogenboom and Pierangelo Pirak is pretty much essential for anyone not daunted by the sight of corpses and the reality of death. An exquisitely shot blend of wry re-enactment, vox-pop and gentle documentary, this compact trilogy takes us to Palermo to find out about Sicily's religious and cultural traditions of mummification, from the Middle Ages until the early 20th century. If this is the kind of eccentric cultural mini doc BBC Reel is hoping to specialise in, it should be applauded” by Andrew Male for The Times
