| Plot: | Sandra Larson has always been fascinated by the entire sensory experience surrounding death: its touch, smell and look. As a child, she would search out dead animals and perform ritualistic burials. As a young woman, Sandra gets a job at Wallis Funeral Home, first as a general assistant, then progressing to study to become an embalmer. At the funeral home, she begins to take her fascination with death to the next level by becoming a necrophiliac. But she also begins her first ever relationship with Matt, a medical student, with who she is totally open about her necrophilia. He finds this aspect of her compelling. He becomes all consumed with her as she is consumed with dead people. The questions become how far he will take this fascination with her to understand fully what is going through her emotional being, how far she will allow him to go, and how far can her feelings for him extend as a live being. |

Goofs

Continuity: Sandra's hair is longer during the cemetery scene. Continuity: When she and Carol are dancing, Sandra raises her arms and her midriff shows. Later, when she removes her top, a camisole has appeared. Revealing mistakes: As Sandra touches the folded hands of the male corpse in the casket at the Wallis Funeral Home you can see the "corpse" breathing; his suit jacket is moving up and down in a breathing motion. |
Quotes
|
Sandra Larson: I've always been fascinated by death. The feel of it, the smell of it, the quietness of it. Sandra Larson: It's like looking into the sun without going blind. I'm consumed. Matt: I never met anyone like you before. You're totally different. You're compelling. Matt: I have to do it. Sandra: Do what? Matt: Fuck a corpse. Mr. Wallis, Mortician: [to Sandra, after her first embalming] You didn't faint. That's always a good sign. Matt: He's also at the Wallis Funeral Home. Now, did you sleep with these two guys? Sandra Larson: You know, I don't fuck everything that's dead. Matt: That's not what I meant. [first lines] Sandra Larson: When you die, your life... flashes, and you disintegrate, radiating energy. When a thing turns into its opposite, when love becomes hate, there are always sparks. But when life turns into death, it's explosive. There are streaks of light, magical, and electrifying. Everyone senses something, some energy, some spirit, some sort of illumination, But I see it. I've seen bodies shining like stars. Some say there's no soul, no afterlife, that life and death is the straightest line on the compass, and nothing more. I say believe what you want, because no matter what you do, cut everything up, burn it all down, you're in the path of something beyond your control. |
