It’s directed by Vincent Ward (story writer of Alien 3, executive producer of The Last Samurai).
Released in 1998, the movie begins when Chris (Robin Williams) meets Annie (Annabella Sciorra) somewhere in Europe. After that, the couple get married and then they have two children, Marie and Ian. Very early in the movie, Marie and Ian die in car accident. After that Annie sinks into a very deep depression, and she even tried to kill herself. Chris supported her the best he could, and she finally recovers but then Chris suddenly dies in another car accident.
Then Chris reaches heaven, where every people have his own paradise and can achieve all his desires. And so, Chris’ heaven consists on the landscape of Annie’s paintings. In heaven, Chris also meets his daughter and his son.
After Chris’ death Annie finally commits suicide and therefore she goes to hell.
After knowing what happened to Annie, Chris decides to rescue his wife from hell.
With amazing sceneries and an excellent photography this movie won many awards, including an Oscar on the category of best visual effects.
No doubt this is one of the most visually beautiful movies ever done. Also the plot is very interesting.
You ought to see it!
