This has to be one of my favorite movies of all time. Something made me think of it Saturday, so I watched it yesterday for like the hundreth time....
first off....Juliet Stevenson is AMAZING. She is like an every-woman, and is so wonderfully real. she is not traditionally beautiful, but she has a certain something that makes her so gorgeous.
She is the perfect partner for Alan Rickman. Ahhh....Alan Rickman.....don't get me started. I love him with my eyes closed.....That voice......I love him with my eyes open.....He is not always handsome, but when he is, he is also AMAZING!
In this movie, both Juliet and Alan are so great TOGETHER....
Juliet plays Nina, a woman who has recently lost the "love of her life" , Jamie (Alan Rickman).
She cannot function. She tries to function. She buys a nasty run-down apartment because she's never had to do anything herself before. She's starting to learn how to be alone. She sees a therapist once a week and just cannot stop crying. She has rats. she's a slob.She's depressed.
Just when she resigns herself to this miserable existence, Jamie returns! However, he is a ghost. She doesn't care.... he's back! She can once again cope with life.
Then she comes to realize that she Has been coping, and it's not really about Jamie or anyone else ....It's about her. It's about LIFE not death. And, all the little inperfections that her relationship with Jamie had start coming to the surface , helping her make a decision.
Love this flick soooo much.
