Roseanna's Grave (1996)
Country: US/GB
Technical: col/scope 98m
Director: Paul Weiland
Cast: Jean Reno, Mercedes Ruehl, Polly Walker
Synopsis:
In an Italian village a dying woman's dream of being buried next to her daughter in the fast-filling local cemetery looks doomed to disappointment, unless her devoted husband can succeed in keeping the elderly population alive long enough for her to get in there first.
Review:
The film begins with an arresting shot of a gipsy funambulist's feet and goes downhill from there, unable to negotiate the fragile border between pathos and comedy inherent in its central premise.
