But it's also a funny movie, touching and life affirming. She draws the viewer into her misery and desolation in a way that is rarely achieved on screen. I challenge anyone not to be utterly riveted by her scene in the therapist's office, where we see her anger at Jamie, her dead lover, for dying. The performances are truly stunning, especially Stevenson. Overwhelmed by grief, she cannot get a grip, until Jamie comes back from the dead to comfort her. They were a well-matched couple, in love, and he died suddenly, leaving her utterly bereft, almost unable to comprehend what has happened. Truly Madly Deeply stars two of my favourite actors, Juliet Stevenson (Nina) and Alan Rickman (Jamie), and is touching and bittersweet without ever being mawkish.

To me, that is the mark of a real work of art, to be able to revisit it and find something new to still be moved even though the work is familiar.

I must have seen this film 10 times yet I seem to be able to glean something extra from it every time. (And hate the version that Hollywood made of it, Ghost.) I watched it again recently, and it was like visiting an old friend.

But I'm absolutely certain that Truly Madly Deeply will always be in there. If I'm ever forced to compile a list of my all time favourite top five movies, it will vary from week to week maybe even day to day and certainly depend upon my current mood and degree of cynicism.
