Details

Bernie is a 2011 film centered around the life of Bernie Tiede, a beloved and talented undertaker who takes great pride in his work and has a passion for gospel singing. The story takes place in the small town of Carthage, Texas, where Bernie's kind-hearted and charismatic nature endears him to the community, especially the elderly ladies.

One day, Bernie befriends Marjorie Nugent, a wealthy but mean-spirited widow who becomes his companion in both their daily routines and lavish vacations. As Bernie's popularity grows, he becomes the subject of envy and curiosity among the townspeople, with only Marjorie's stockbroker and the local district attorney, Danny Buck, harboring suspicions about him.

However, everything takes a dark turn when Marjorie becomes possessive and controlling, causing Bernie to reevaluate his situation. As tensions rise, the audience is left wondering what actions Bernie will take to navigate this complicated predicament.

Bernie combines a mix of interviews with townspeople, flashbacks, and a captivating storyline to offer a unique and engaging narrative.
