Description:
This film centers on Marcello, a trattoria proprietor in an Italian village who will stop at nothing to make sure his beloved but ailing wife, Roseanna, realizes her dream of being buried at the local cemetary.
Amazon.com:
Congratulations to director Paul Weiland for taking a stupid premise and creating a truly romantic look at marriage. Mercedes Ruehl is dying of a weak heart, and her husband, Jean Reno, hopes to keep his promise to bury her in their tiny Italian village, despite a lack of room in the cemetery. While he is trying to keep his friends and neighbors out of the local bone yard, she is quietly seeking candidates for his next wife. Many movies treat marriage as a death sentence. For Roseanna looks past daily bickering to the enduring love and warm companionship of well-matched lovers. Clearly defined characters, a disarming dénouement, and passionate performances transform the silly plot into a playful valentine. --Rochelle O'Gorman

This little movie is a jewel of a film. Jean Reno is at his absolute very
best as Marcello, a man driven by love to extreme measures. The rest of the cast is also superb. It is funny and bittersweet at the same time.
Everyone should see "For Roseanna" for a good video experience.

But beyond that the plot is touchingly sweet, while the antics of movie tough guy Reno keeps it from being cloying or maudlin. Roseanna (Mercedes Ruehl) has a congenital heart condition that will take her life sooner rather than later, and a heartfelt wish to be buried next to her deceased daughter in the village cemetery. The cemetery, however, is filling up, with only three spaces left. So Reno's task is to do ... Read More

My wife and I first watched this movie about ten years ago and do not remember any other that made us laugh as much as this one. More recently, we enjoyed "My Big Fat Greek Wedding" and "Sideways, but neither comes close to "For Roseanna", which I can only describe as perfect in every way. We have had it on a VHS cassette for some years and played it to many friends, all of whom, without one exception, enjoyed it tremendously. Now that the tape is wearing out, we have bought the DVD for more viewing. ... Read More

Great Movie! Even my husband thought this one was a keeper! Laughing one minute, teary eyed the next.
Nothing I write can relate as much as this simple statement:
For Roseanna - looks past daily bickering to the enduring love and warm companionship of well-matched lovers.
A must have movie!
