Twin
Gemini is the mutable air sign of the zodiac, so films for this sign must feature clever dialogue, imagination and numerous plot twists, with storylines involving ensemble casts, international settings and diverse characters. Mercury rules this sign and focuses on the pleasures of the mind, so films about different points of view and psychological development will appeal to people of this sun sign.
Comedy
Death at a Funeral (2007)
Summary from IMDB: “Chaos ensues when a man tries to uncover a dark secret about the recently deceased patriarch of a dysfunctional British family.” No culture functions as well as the British, which is able to respond to the perceived need for constant and unassailable decorum that defines British high society.
