A CRAZED KILLER IS ON THE LOOSE IN THE CATACOMBS OF VENICE, ITALY. HE STALKS BEAUTIFUL WOMEN, DRAGS THEM TO HIS UNDERGROUND LAIR, KILLS THEM, THEN STUFFS THEM AND ADDS THEM TO HIS 'COLLECTION.'A drama series from the creator of Doll centered around an embalmer in Japan. As with all Mitsukazu Mihara manga, The Embalmer features some creative episodic stories, this time around with a life and death theme.Peppino (Ernesto Mahieux), a taxidermist who stashes contraband in corpses for the Mafia, may be undersized, but he shouldn't be underestimated. After Peppino persuades the handsome Valerio (Va! lerio Foglia Manzillo), a waiter of heroic proportions, to be his well-paid assistant, he shows his new protégé a good time by hiring prostitutes to entertain them both. But Peppino's eyes are not on the girls...and Valerio's new girlfriend Deborah (Elisabetta Rocchetti) knows it. The battle for Valerio's affections are about to take a deadly turn.
Garrone has entered complex, mature territory that pulls from classic film noir to create an underlying sense of dread in this beautifully shot, dramatically riveting character study. He started with a simple question: How does a man who isn't especially rich or good-looking seduce a young, handsome man, who doesn't happen to be homosexual? To answer this question Garrone created three compelling characters and a well-crafted screenplay that keeps the audience wondering why the tall and beautiful Valerio stays with the crafty, diminutive and possibly dangerous Peppino.
THE EMBALMER was selected for Cannes Directo! rs' Fortnight in 2002 and the prestigious New Directors/New Fi! lms seri es at Lincoln Center in New York in 2003. It won two David di Donatello Awards (the Italian 'Oscars') in 2003 for Screenwriting (to Matteo Garrone) and Best Supporting Actor (to Ernesto Mahieux). Though THE EMBALMER is a stylistic leap from Garrone's earlier work in a documentary style, he continues to focus on the lives of those on the margins of society as he creates compelling psychological portraits, and in the process weaves together intriguing questions pertaining to the interrelatedness of power, love, desire and violence."There is no hard evidence to tell us when Franky Russo''s young mind turned toward the decision to select a career in the funeral business, or if he actually even consciously made the decision to pursue that livelihood. Perhaps he was groomed for that position by unknown forces. In any case, Franky''s dreams came true, and along with the dreams came the nightmares of an unexplainable existence on this earth.
The characters and stories in this book represent nothing less than human desperation-an attempt to create some sort reasonable rationalization for what really happened. Still, some things cannot be explained, only detailed. What happened to Franky during his career in the funeral industry is something that most people would not wish on their worst enemy.
One may finish this book with a myriad of emotions, such as laughing hysterically or crying like a baby and in the end with shivers running up and down their spine. The irony of this book is that it has a way of showing how one deals with the everyday frustrations of the embalmer/funeral director, although I don''t think Franky ever really accomplished that.
