Many will argue that this new film about the afterlife is disjointed at times, and has moments that don't make a lot of sense. While this may be true, do not let it deter you from seeing this extraordinary and original visual feast that raises many questions about faith and the human condition.

Robin Williams and Annabella Sciorra give superb, oscar-worthy performances. Williams is a man who finds himself in the afterlife after a series of horrible events. Sciorra, unable to cope with her husband's death, ends up in the most unlikely of places. Williams travels on a cinematic journey, that won't soon be forgotten, to the boundaries of the netherworld to find the woman he loves.

Director Vincent Ward (Navigator and Map of the Human Heart) shoots the afterlife as if it were one great big, beautiful painting. By the same token, his vision of Hell is equally stunning. Much of the brilliant art direction is comparable to the works of Terry Gilliam (Time Bandits, Brazil and The Adventures of Baron Munchausen.)

Though the film is a visual masterpiece, it is the sheer conviction of Williams and Sciorra that makes the journey worth taking. From the moment they appear on screen together, the chemistry is apparent. This is what makes the film work. What Dreams May Come definitely offers a daring vision of what happens to us after we die. It also contains one element many other films this year do not--originality!
