"To Be Absurd In & Of Itself Is Masturbatory": How Dead Lover Mixes Pulpy Camp With Emotional Sincerity Explained By Director & Cast

Mary Shelley's Frankenstein has gotten a colorful and theatrical new take from award-winning filmmaker Grace Glowicki with Dead Lover, which recently arrived at SXSW. The film marks Glowicki's second feature-length effort in the director's chair, and her first in five years since debuting with the darkly comedic thriller Tito, which also screened at SXSW and netted her the Adam Yauch Hörnblowér Award. Dead Lover also previously made its world premiere at this year's Sundance Film Festival, where it garnered strong reviews for its zany take on the iconic sci-fi fantasy tale.
