Truly Madly Deeply is an intelligent, moving, and deeply funny story about love and death. Nina (Juliet Stevenson), a scatterbrained professional translator, has lost the love of her life, Jamie (Alan Rickman). As her life (and her flat) slowly falls to pieces, she is inundated with an endless stream of repairmen and eligible suitors. But rather than go on with life, Nina dwells on her dead love, slumped at her piano, endlessly playing half of a Bach duet. Then, in a truly magical sequence, his cello suddenly joins her melody... and Jamie's back from the dead. At first it's bliss--think of the superficially similar blockbuster Ghost, only with real people instead of pretty faces Demi Moore and Patrick Swayze. But Nina gradually realises it's a thoroughly real Jamie who's back; complete with every annoying, argumentative fault she'd conveniently forgotten. (He might be dead, he explains, but he still attends political meetings.) Moreover, he has to hide whenever any of the living are around. And he's constantly ice-cold. And he invites his dead pals to her place at all hours. What's a living woman to do? Director Anthony Minghella went on to create the melodramatic period piece The English Patient--but in this film, he shows a far more sensitive, subtle touch. The photography is brilliant, capturing the simple beauties of suburban London. And the wonderfully acted characters, quirky and all too real, will keep you laughing--and always guessing what will happen next.--Grant Balfour, Amazon.com


Wonderful!

This remains one of my favourite films of all time, humorous, at times upsetting, thought provoking, sensitive, intelligent. Well cast, great script - I defy anyone to be disappointed after watching it.

Bitter sweet grief.
Review date: 2008-08-26 Rating: 10 out of 10


Unusual film featuring the odd-looking Juliet Stevenson and Alan Rickman.

It appears that a woman's grief is so harsh at the death of her husband, he is called back by her subconscious - if only to help her to survive the terrible loss, until she can 'relate' to another man and move on. A little silly in places, but extremely sad and moving in others, and one cannot help but wonder at just how we would react if our dead loved one should return. I personally suspect that the death of someone so close has such impact, that despite our desperate wish for their return, things would never quite be the same again, and this movie certainly gives that impression.

Juliet Stevenson gives an award-winning performance in this, and one can really feel her loss and her bitter need for the solace of her deceased lover.

This was my first 'encounter' with Alan Rickman whom I became quite 'fanatical' about at the time, and I cannot believe that this movie is now almost twenty years old!

Time flies...



just watch it!

My all time favourite film. Some of the best acting you'll ever see especially from Juliet Stevenson. If you're not inclined to cry at films, you will at this, not that it leaves you feeling sad (although it is in places), it is a very uplifting film, and very funny. It's about how life ultimately carries on after tragedy whether you want it to or not and how one woman is helped to do that. All i can say is watch it, you won't be dissapointed.

Brilliant film

a lovely story and yes i think Jamie was trying to help Nina get over him, as much as he loved her and she loved him he was trying to tell her in his own way to get on with her life, and that she should never forget him but if she found love again to take hold of it.

acting briliant from Juliet Stevenson who is my favourite actress and Alan Rickman

five stars indeed for this wonderful story

I wish there were 6 stars to give. The film of my life. The first time I saw this film in France, the theatre was packed and I could not contain myself from hysterically sobbing and then laughing and then wailing until a good number of people were growling for me to leave. It was so wrenching that I missed work the next day because my face was so puffed up. It was a great ride. I now have two dvds of this movie in case something happens to one of them.
