The entire cast offers up strong performances perfectly stylized to the crazy tone of the film. (Particularly Rupert Everett, François Hadji-Lazaro and Anna Falchi)
Here is a zombie film where the undead are catalysts for rambling examinations on the meaning of life, love and finding comfort in connection to others.
The film feels upbeat but conjures intense…
