A lonely gravedigger who stinks of corpses (Grace Glowicki) finally meets her dream man (Ben Petrie), but their whirlwind affair is cut short when he tragically drowns at sea. Grief-stricken, she goes to morbid lengths to resurrect him through madcap scientific experiments, resulting in grave consequences and unlikely love.
The DEAD LOVER Stink-O-Vision screenings turn cinema into a full-body experience. Each audience member receives a scratch-and-sniff card created by scent artists, unleashing a carefully choreographed bouquet of aromas—funky, foul, seductive, and downright unholy—that sync with key moments in the film. From grave-dirt rot to dandy cologne, ghost puke to BBQ stank, the smells guide viewers through a journey of fetid, funky love where romance and revulsion collide.
Official Selection: TIFF
"A cartoon lightning bolt of vivacious, zany good fun and open experimentalism held together by the obvious talent and affection of its cast and crew." - Film Inquiry
