ROSEANNA'S GRAVE
Bob McCabe

USA/UK 1996
Director: Paul Weiland
1 hour 37 minutes

In Travento, a small Italian village, Roseanna's final wish is that she be buried next to her daughter in the local
graveyard. But with only three plots left and the ageing village population looking none too healthy, Roseanna's
devoted husband Marcello has to work overtime to deliver her request, preserving life wherever he can and
hiding the odd corpse.

"There's a good deal to like here, Weiland effectively captures the atmosphere and intricacies of rural Italy...
quite charming."
