003 - DELLAMORTE DELLAMORE / CEMETERY MAN (Michele Soavi, 1994)

Esplicito

DELLAMORTE DELLAMORE (aka CEMETERY MAN) relates the story of melancholy and discontented Francesco Dellamorte (Rupert Everett), who watches over a cemetery in a small European town where the dead won’t stay buried. He takes it upon himself to put “returners” back into their graves. One day he stumbles upon the love of his life (Anna Falchi) burying her husband. When said husband returns from the dead and kills her, Francesco begins a series of relationships with various iterations of her and a dialogue with death that drives him to kill the living. In what is sure to go down as one of our more elliptical episodes, Bill and Colin explore this questionably-adapted and sensually-visualized horror/dark comedy film that wrestles with ideas of love, death and perhaps the greatest challenge of all…life.
