Roseanna's Grave(1997)
A romantic comedy about the things we do for love.
Roseanna is dying of a heart condition, and all she wants is to be buried next to her daughter, in a cemetery that is getting full fast. The cemetery can't expand because Capestro, the man who owns the land next to the cemetery, won't sell. While Marcello is doing good deeds to make sure no one dies, Roseanna thinks of Marcello's future.

Roseanna's Grave is honestly such a weird relic of that late nineties obsession with quirky small-town Italy, but honestly it kind of works. Jean Reno is doing way too much heavy lifting here, yet his absolute desperation to keep that grave plot open is strangely endearing instead of just sad. The whole plot feels like something you'd catch on cable at 2 am and somehow end up watching until the credits. Not exactly high art, but if you want something that feels like a warm hug despite the morbid premise, it hits the spot.

Jean Reno is the only reason this thing holds together, man. That scene where he’s trying to keep the neighbor alive just to save the space killed me lol.
