Dellamorte Dellamore (1994)

 So all the world's a...snowglobe?

If that was my life and Anna Falchi kept popping up, it sure wouldn't be that bad at all. I just love how the police inspector keeps popping up, only to tell Francesco (Everett) he's not a suspect (when he should be), only for our cemetery caretaker/walking dead destroyer to react with frustration and even anger is just perfect as is how Falchi just keeps showing up over and over, multiple characters, in the same locality. And they all seem drawn sexually to Francesco and vice versa. I cracked up when the third Falchi tells Everette "the medicine doesn't seem to work". That hypo sure seemed full, though!

There is just cool shit right up my alley, like the makeout in the puddled ossuary where a kiss is shared between both participating parties passionately except with head coverings, Francesco burning papers when visited by Death convinced to "use his gun before the bodies are buried" who resembled The Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come, Francesco plotting to leave Buffalora Cemetery while conversing with a cloaked figure statue that speaks back to him, Falci and Everett having sex near the grave of Falci's dead (and very old) husband eventually breaking from his coffin to take a bite out of her, the corpses not just rotted zombies but having branches and cemetery nature growing out of them, and the motorcycle zombie driving right out of his grave with not only cemetery nature now part of his corpse but the very vehicle he's riding as well.

Add the Falchi zombie, herself featuring cemetery growth, luring Francesco into a brief makeout, crazy violence brought about by a melancholy and seemingly no-fucks-to-give Francesco just freed of any concern about what happens to him, Gnaghi's obsession with the mayor's daughter (well, her zombie talking head anyway!), and the bizarre finale where leaving behind the cemetery really leads to an actual road to nowhere.

Episodic, yes, and Soavi's personality is all over this film. It's a shame he hasn't made at least ten movies by now.
