Wilbur Wants To Kill Himself

Introducing Endless Mode: A New Games & Anime Site from Paste
Danish director Lone Scherfig burst onto the world stage with her winning Dogme feature Italian for Beginners. The same element of whimsy and charm has carried over to her follow-up. A hilarious film about suicide (no, it’s not impossible), the English-language Wilbur Wants to Kill Himself stars Jamie Sives as the titular character, a man who manages to keep ruining his own suicide attempts. But when Wilbur’s understanding brother falls in love with a single mom, Wilbur suddenly finds reason to live, even if he can’t quite kick his habit of trying to die.
