About this product

Product Information

In Anthony Minghella's directorial debut, Nina (Juliet Stevenson) is trying to put her life back together following the untimely death of her boyfriend, Jamie (Alan Rickman). She still hears his voice in her head, telling her to lock the back door, or instructing her in the proper way to brush her teeth. Nina gets the shock of her life when Jamie returns to her--still dead, but there in the flesh nevertheless. Just as the two settle back into their comfortable relationship, Nina meets Mark (Michael Maloney), a kind, quirky fellow who is obviously drawn to her. Nina is then caught between two worlds and two men--one dead and from and her past, the other alive and in the present. A supporting cast of mildly eccentric characters adds flavor to this romantic comedy about finding love where and when you least expect it. Stevenson is enchanting as Nina, instilling her with humor and grief simultaneously. Rickman's performance as Jamie, a dead cellist who brings other dead friends to hang out at Nina's flat, is wonderfully subtle and droll.

  • Beautiful, haunting, quirky, intelligent, funny, dramatic film!

    This BBC TV film from 1991 is a brilliant piece of story telling. It has been in my top 10 list for many years. The script was written by Anthony Minghella specifically for Juliet Stevenson and superbly shows off this British actress's talents. Alan Rickman as her dead lover and cellist, Jamie, who comes back to her, is also first rate and the scenes between the two of them sparkle with such chemistry! Another standout is the less well known actor, Michael Maloney, who plays the quirky role of Nina's new love interest. The scene with the two of them as they each hop on one foot while telling each other their personal histories is a delight. The secondary leads are also wonderful, including the marvelous Bill Paterson as Nina's boss at the language agency. Music also plays a huge role in the film. Minghella loved Bach, so he wrote lots of it into the story. One of the most beautiful moments is Nina playing the piano part of a Bach piece, and then Jamie comes in with the cello part. It's haunting and lovely. There is also an extremely fun scene between the two of them when they play and sing the old pop tune, "The Sun Ain't Gonna Shine Anymore" and features Nina dancing around the apartment, as Jamie plays for her. It's a quirky, unusual film that takes the viewer from light comedy to drama and back again, and we root for Nina from her first moments on screen to the last of the credits. In many places, the film has an improvised feel which is fresh and engaging, such as the moment when Nina's boss, Sandy and other workers at her dilapidated apartment do her dishes for her as she is outside hanging up her laundry. They all talk together about her situation and it feels completely unrehearsed and so like real life. This film has a lot to say about grief and grieving and apparently since the years of its release, many viewers have found the film to be comforting and helpful to them in their grieving process. I love this movie and it will forever have a place on my shelf!

  • A magically realistic portrait of love and loss

    My partner told me about this film ages ago and we’ve been trying to find it at a reasonable price for ages which was a surprisingly difficult task. We ordered it and it was delivered promptly and in brand new condition. We sat down to watch it together and I was immediately struck by the honest and raw depictions of grief and real love. Suffice it to say when the film ended we held each other closer than we had in a long time. Amazing film with top notch acting across the board and fantastic writing.

  • Amazing!!

    I was so excited to receive this dvd! It is one of my all time favorites. So glad it is once again a part of my collection. Alan Rickman was wonderful in this. Still hard to believe he is not with us anymore. Movie makes me laugh and cry. A true watch for A.R. fans

  • A Love Story that warms your heart

    This movie is very engaging and fun to watch, with a sad story behind it. I love the premise of the woman's dead boyfriend's ghost coming to visit and get her back on track to living.

  • Very Pleased with this purchase

    This dvd played well, the volume did not bounce up and down as I have had other dvds do this, and the picture was clear. Excellent buy at an excellent price!
