WHAT DREAMS MAY COME

Tragedy befalls blissful, deeply in love soulmates Chris and Annie (Robin Williams, Annabella Sciorra) when first their children and then Chris die in auto crashes. A despairing Annie commits suicide. In this Orpheus like story, if Annie is sent to an eternal limbo like hell, can Chris rescue her?

The afterlife is in the style of 19th century painting and is less Christian (Dante, it’s not) than a mix of Greek-Roman underworld legends and reincarnation theories. New Zealander director Vincent (The Map of the Human Heart) Ward’s concept of paradise is sometimes dazzling but self-oriented, with God only a rumor.

Dreams suggests curious high school retreat questions Can you be happy in heaven if a beloved one doesn’t make it? It offers a pretty portrait of immortality. And if it represents the joy of heaven only by analogy to the best of human romantic love, for now it’s probably the best we can do. Flawed, but poignant and provocative; satisfactory for mature viewers.
