Truly Madly Deeply is an amazing film, it's moving, it's humorous
and it's romantic. It has everything you want in a film. Being
an absolute Alan Rickman fan, I couldn't resist buying Truly Madly
Deeply and I must say it's an instant classic.
Nina, a thirty something translator, fantastically played by
Juliet Stevenson, loses the love of her life, Jamie, who was a
cellist. As her life and her flat falls apart, it seems she's
on the edge of an emotional breakdown but while she plays a half-finished
Bach duet on the piano, she turns around and Jamie's there, playing
the cello.
It's bliss at first but then he starts rearranging the furniture,
inviting his ghostly friends to her flat to watch old movies on
video and Nina's passion turns into irritation. The ending is
so moving but I won't spoil it, I loved the acting, Juliet Stevenson
and Alan Rickman are brilliant, it's a pity they aren't appreciated
as well as they should be.
This movie isn't a British re-make of the US film "Ghost"
but a touching story about a woman who learning to cope with grief
and anger and carrying on with her life. We've all been there
and it's something everyone can relate to. If you like romantic
movies without the Hollywood glamour, Truly Madly Deeply is highly
recommended!
