Dead Leaves (1998 film)

Dead Leaves is a 1998 road movie directed by German director Constantin Werner about a young man who travels from New York City to West Virginia with the corpse of his deceased girlfriend.

When Laura (Elizabeth Gondek) dies, her unbalanced boyfriend Joey (Haim Abramsky) suffers a nervous breakdown.

He steals the body and escapes on a self-destructive journey through a lonely autumn landscape of motels, freeways and rainy towns.

The film's soundtrack includes a version of the previously unpublished ballad "Flowers" by Christian Death founder Rozz Williams.

The film was shot during a two-week road trip from New York City to West Virginia using a guerrilla filmmaking approach.
