Storyline

This movie is based on a novel of Tiziano Sclavi, and it always reflects the "sclavian philosophy" diffused by the most succesful comics in Italy: Dylan Dog, the detective of the nightmare. There is the duality between love and dead (in Italian "dellamore" means "of love" and "dellamorte" means "of death"), a duality that Dellamorte feels in a really hard way. He is the guardian of the cemetery of Buffalora, a little town in the north of Italy, in which, we don't know why, corpses rise from tombs and Dellamorte has to destroy them. Dellamorte seems not to ask to himself why this happen, he shoots and loves. But at the end he wants to leave Buffalora... Written by Bruno Iannazzo <iannazzo@cibs.sns.it>

Quotes

[discussing the zombies]
Franco: Any other visits last night?
Francesco Dellamorte: A couple, yeah... All this extra work - and it's not as if they pay me any more!
Franco: Well, tell the Mayor!
Francesco Dellamorte: Oh, tell the Mayor, and then what? They'll *close* the cemetery! Goodbye job and goodbye house.
Franco: Come on. Who do you think would believe you?
Francesco Dellamorte: Listen. I don't care if you don't believe me, Franco. You're not the one who pays me.
Franco: I believe you. I believe you! And you're right. At least have him pay you over-time.
