And then, at the very end, it produced <em>Cemetery Man</em>, a film so odd, so beautiful and so quietly heartbroken that it plays like the whole tradition sitting up one last time to say something it had never quite managed before. Released in Italy as <em>Dellamorte Dellamore</em>, &ldquo;Of Death, Of Love&rdquo;, Michele Soavi&rsquo;s film is a zombie comedy, a doomed romance and a philosophical shrug about the pointlessness of everything, and it holds all three in the same hand without dropping any.</p>Mon, 08 Sep 2025 11:00:00 +0000
