Half way
I only got half way through the film. It came on TV last night and my satellite went out, so I am unsure of how it ended. I visited the video rental store today, but they didn't carry it. It's just bugging me.
Keep on Truckin/Hoo-ah

Her relationship with her new found boyfriend begins to grow sour when he becomes obsessed with her nocturnal visits. He eventually begins to pressure her to let him watch, and then to let him participate, which she will not allow. He becomes unstable and tries to dress himself up like a corpse so that she will make love to him the way she does to them. This fails miserably and they begin to drift apart. This is not painless for him and he tries one last time to get her to treat him as a corpse and he invites her over. When she arrives he is putting makeup on to make his face look pale and corpse like. He is obviously loosing it and starts talking about how he has always had bad skin. She shows that she really has feelings for him and that she is torn by the way he is acting. She wants to be with him but at the same time his bizarre behaviour is pushing her away. She begins to pack her things and tell him she's leaving and he just keeps putting makeup on in the mirror, ignoring her.
Finally she get's a call in the middle of the night in which he tells her only "I love you" and hangs up. She becomes upset and starts to quickly get dressed. When she arrives at his basement apartment he is standing on a stool with a noose wrapped around his neck, totally naked. He asks her to push the stool for him. She starts to cry and begs him not to. She tells him she loves him and she wants to be with him. You can see how much she loves him. He tells her to push the stool or he will. She tells him again that she loves him and he says "No you don't. But you will". And with that he pushes the stool out from under him and the camera pulls close to her face and we see the pain, shock and numbness set in.
The next scenes are of the police arriving and bagging the body, she is being interviewed in the background as her voice over tells how she told them he kicked the chair over as soon as she entered the room. She asks "How could I explain to them why he killed himself? They would never understand". The Sarah Mclaughlin track begins to pick up and we see his dead body in the funeral home lit up under bright light so that he appears to glow. She begins to get undressed as the music track pics up "I won't fear love..Sarah sings". The camera moves close to his face as she lays her head next to his and looks directly into the camera. The light is so intense that they both appear to be luminescent beings of light. She says in monologue that he was the brightest of them all. And from that moment on she always saw him when she was with the dead. She tells the camera in monologue that yes she loved him, and that she still crosses over to the other side. Fade to black and credits roll.
The ending is kind of anti climatic but it shows that she truly loved him and that when he died she could "feel" from his body how much he loved her and it was perfect. The last shot is of a close up of her face as she lays next to him with those blue eyes staring into the camera peacefully.
Anyway I hope this helps you get the nuances of the 2nd half along with the plot and story.
