Based on a metaphysical 1978 novel by the talented science fiction and horror author Richard Matheson, this romantic fantasy-drama won an Oscar for its expensive and impressive visuals depicting an imaginative afterlife. Robin Williams stars as Chris Nielsen, a doctor who has suffered with his artist wife Annie (Annabella Sciorra) through the devastating loss of their children, Marie and Ian, who were killed in a car accident. When Chris dies and goes to Heaven he meets Albert and discovers that Heaven is even more wondrous than anything he could have imagined. However, Chris's death is the last straw for Annie and she in her madness commits suicide and journeys to a place very different from Chris. He decides to risk eternity in Hades for the small chance that he will be able to bring her back to heaven. This is a beautiful story that reminds us that love is stronger than death. |
