Brad Fraser's stage drama Unidentified Human Remains and the True Nature of Love served as the inspiration for Denys Arcand's 1993 Canadian film Love and Human Remains. Fraser penned the screenplay for the movie version as well. While a serial killer is at large in Edmonton, a gay guy and his straight female roommate—who engages in sexual experimentation by having sex with a lesbian—seek love and fulfilment in Edmonton. This is largely how the play's plot is told in the movie adaptation.
While the film was shot on location in Montreal, Quebec,
the original stage play and the screenplay are both set in Edmonton, Alberta. There are attempts made in the dialogue, props and background film footage to identify the city as Edmonton, as in David's remark, "Let's order a Rosebowl pizza and discuss your sexual crises" (Rose Bowl Pizza is a well-known restaurant and bar in Edmonton). 👇👇👇👇👇👇👇

Sal's remark, "It's chicken night at Flash", is an allusion to Flashbacks, a long-gone Edmonton gay bar.
There's also repeated use of a Sun newspaper (the Edmonton Sun is one of the city's major daily newspapers, although the city's name is not included in the masthead of the prop paper) and CBC-TV Canadian Football League footage of an Edmonton Eskimos game.
Stars Mia Kirshner, Joanne Vannicola, and Matthew Ferguson were nominated for acting awards, and Fraser won a Genie Award for his adapted screenplay. 2011 saw the Region 1 DVD release from Sony Pictures Classic's MOD service. Additionally, Arrow Films is selling a Region 0 ("region-free") PAL DVD of it in the UK.
