Elvis and Anabelle (2007) More at IMDbPro »

With lush cinematography and a haunting soundtrack, Will Geiger's film presents a unique and timeless love story. Elvis (Max Minghella) is an unlicensed mortician in his family's funeral home, a once-splendid American gothic in rural Texas. His sense of of family obligation and love for his eccentric, ailing father (Joe Manegna) keeps him from following his dreams. Anabelle (Blake Lively) is a beauty queen being groomed for the big-time by a pushy, show-biz mother (Mary Steenburgen) and creepy step-father (Keith Carradine). All her decision are made for her - she's just not sure she fits the part. Their lives are worlds apart, but they collide when Anabelle, in a moment of triumph, collapses and dies on a beauty pageant catwalk and ends up on Elvis's embalming table. What happens next is as magical as it is unexpected.
