Serenely resigned to his impending death but deeply afraid at the prospect of being cremated, an elderly carpenter seeks to have his last wishes carried out in this gentle, beautifully realized drama from director Li Ruijin. (TIFF)

《古埃及亡灵书》是一部古老而宏大的诗歌总集，共二十七篇，包括咒语、赞美诗、冗长的开释、各类礼仪真言、神名等，它们一般都被镂刻或书写在金字塔或坟墓的壁上，有的则印在棺椁或镂于精美的石棺之上。因为原文是象形文字，早已失传，十九世纪初发现象形文字与科普特文(一种希腊文字为主的文字)对照的碑文，才得以破译。
