SIMILAR PICKS / A PERSONAL CONNECTION

If you loved This Is Not a Burial, It's a Resurrection, try these.

The Turin Horse poster 01

Movie / 2011 / Drama

The Turin Horse

Why this pick

Like Mosese’s film, it uses monumental landscapes, ritual-like repetition, and austere pacing to turn rural hardship into a grave, mythic meditation on endurance and disappearance.

Atlantics poster 02

Movie / 2019 / Drama / Indie

Atlantics

Why this pick

A lyrical, socially rooted elegy in which community grief and economic displacement acquire an oneiric, spiritual force, echoing the haunted dignity of This Is Not a Burial, It’s a Resurrection.

Cemetery of Splendour poster 03

Movie / 2015 / Drama / Fantasy

Cemetery of Splendour

Why this pick

A hushed, spiritually porous drama where ordinary lives, contested land, memory, and the dead coexist; its gentle strangeness complements Mosese’s fusion of realism and ancestral vision.

The Milk of Sorrow poster 04

Movie / 2009 / Drama

The Milk of Sorrow

Why this pick

It transforms collective historical trauma into intimate folklore-inflected imagery, sharing Mosese’s ability to make grief feel both bodily immediate and culturally ancestral.

Cocote poster 05

Movie / 2017 / Drama

Cocote

Why this pick

A formally daring bereavement story steeped in ritual, religion, and social fracture; its shifts in texture and tone pursue the same sense that mourning can become communal resistance.
