...In the way of necrophilia, that is. As perverse as it may sound this film is not in any way gratuitous or done purely to shock. It deals with the subject matter in a tasteful, sensitive and intense way and although it by no means justifies necrophilia it does offer us an insight into one of the reasons why it is done and leads us to have some sort of understanding and sympathy for the necrophile presented in this film.

The reason why I am not giving it five stars is because I did not really like the style in which it was shot; dark, slow and very very gloomy all throughout. But then how else are you to make a film which deals with such a morbid and tabooed topic?

This is a very beautifully made film about some really wild subject matter, necrophilia. But don't let the strange subject matter keep you away from seeing it. It is tastefully done with a lot of stunning imagery. I loved every second of it, even though necrophilia has always seemed rather disgusting to me.

I enjoyed this video. It was a very accurate and sensitive portrayal of necrophilia, as well as paraphelias in general. They did a good job in providing a basis by showing her experiences in puberty, and bringing it to a climax in her first serious relationship's end and beginning, in her adulthood. I also like the fact that they made it clear that it didn't revolve around intercourse. This may make it confusing to some viewers who may want to inject their own "in and out" limitations, bringing it down to just a way for the heroine to "get off"...but that just simply wasn't there. When explaining to her boyfriend who asked what she does with the bodies, had it been as simple as sex, or even halfway conventional, as far as mechanics, she would have said so. She was not a repressed person...but it was much more than that, and she was much more than that. Unlike other movies, where the one cast as the "perv" is a one-dimensional monster, or a misunderstood beast, the main character in this film is a whole person. The final conversation between her and her boyfriend will haunt me forever.

This movie is about "love" and no regular one. This etraordinary subject in this movie can teach you respect and understanding to pepole who are not the same like the most of us. Making love to dead bodies and being fascinated of all dead things is hard to believe and even to share the inner feelings for and with these "strange" people. But after you watched this film you don't feel any bad about any scene you just saw and you might understand how difficult it is for people be attracted to dead bodies. At the end you'll be shocked how deep a love of a LIVING human can be for a woman who just loves the dead. Love in many ways and you'll get one step closer to a different world. This movie is GREAT !

I saw this movie in the theater alone. Two other people were in theater at time. I saw that it had two thumbs up by siskel and ebert. I tend to go to movies when both were in agreement. This movie really messed with my head. The movie was so well done that you actually understood how a person could be lie that. The reason it was so disturbing is I entered a consciousness that was very dark. It took me a few days before I fealt the impact of the movie was completely worn off. I would give it 5 stars but the subject matter is so strong that I don't want to give anyone the wrong impression.

The main character (female) has sex with dead people (not to mention the film has no female nudity) and it is shown to look beautiful and full of purpose and etc. every one of the lead male characters are portrayed as extremely wierd and gross and etc for there own idiosyncrasies. the films depiction of all the male characters might lead one to think the director has serious issues with men that aside it could have been good.

Shall see this film to learn more about love. The story has used necrophilia to show that love has a wider meaning than we used to know. People should look this film to find out the expressions of love. Our last kisses given to our dead parents or lovers shold be taken into account. With a small difference - this film shows this last attempt to love, with the last and deadly attempt to beloved. Making people think about that everything in the world could beloved and that everything could be done to beloved.

I really loved this movie it took something like necrophilia, that most of society finds absolutly disgusting and turns it into something that almost seemes normal.To be in love with death is beautiful in this movie.

The plot deals with a young girl who gets a job in a funeral home just so that she can do her thing with dead bodies. I was concerned with where the film was going. The idea that she enjoyed something like that made me curious as to how the film would end. It is hard not to pay attention to a film like this.
