Cemetery Man
Michael Soavi’s 1994 film begins as a stylish goof on the zombie genre but expands into an hallucinatory meditation on love, death and the cosmos. Lockstep admirers of horror films were not happy (not enough zombies) and art-house denizens were appalled by the no-holds-barred sex and violence. It’s a genuinely visionary effort and, not for nothing, Martin Scorsese praised it as “one of the best Italian films of the 1990s”.
