Pianist Nina (Juliet Stevenson) and cellist Jamie (Alan Rickman) played together and loved together. When they weren't making music with each other, they made love. It was an idyllic romantic and musical partnership, and when Jamie dies, Nina takes it very hard. The condolences of friends and relatives don't help much when everything in the apartment they shared reminds her of him. She's a real basket case, and can barely get on with her life. One day, while plunking dejectedly on the piano, Nina looks up to discover Jamie, in ghostly form, lively as ever and just as loving. With a few new wrinkles (such as parties which include Jamie's newfound ghost friends), they resume living their relationship almost as before. Nina's friends are puzzled at her change from suicidal despondency to giddy cheefulness, but Jamie has pledged Nina to secrecy about their renewed relationship. For that reason, she cannot find any good excuses for not responding to the romantic advances of a living man, Mark (Michael Maloney). Before long, she will have to choose between the two of them. ~ Clarke Fountain, Rovi

    The music was very beautiful. Juliet Stevenson is a great actor. It was slow at times. It was amusing and sad at the same time.

    The late, great Anthony Minghella (Oscar winner for The English Patient) wrote and directed this golden film about learning to let go and move on. One wonders why Alan Rickman is always cast as a villain because he is absolutely wonderful as the droll romantic lead who comes back from the dead to gently coax his former lover, the marvelous Juliet Stevenson, back into the world of the living when she cannot get past her grief over losing him. My all time favorite film. Witty, touching, funny, and sweet. A "little" film that sparkles like a diamond, the kind of film that contemporary audiences, sadly, just don't seem capable of comprehending.

    This movie can be a transformative healing experience if you have suffered loss and/or bereavement. Juliet bravely portrays the depth and strength of emotions catalyzed by the process of grieving. Hopeful and life affirming story.
