Elysian Fields is a well-known New Orleans street and the setting for Tennessee Williams’ “A Streetcar Named Desire.” But in Greek mythology, it’s the final resting place of the souls of the heroic and the virtuous. We’ve curated this block to include four films with very unique approaches to grief and mourning, including FUNERAL, GRAMERCY, APPRECIATION, and WATERS OF MARCH. Runtime: 67 minutes
