What Dreams May Come

Chris (Robin Williams) and his wife endure terrible grief after the loss of their two children. Further tragedy strikes when Chris dies in a car accident. He is transported to an afterlife paradise created from paintings composed by his wife, who can barely continue living without him. He befriends heavenly guide Albert (Cuba Gooding Jr.) and tries to enlist his help in retuning to the realm of mortals so that he may be with her and bring an end to her suffering. <br /> <br /> Based on Richard Matheson's novel of the same name, <strong>What Dreams May Come </strong>contains several allusions to Dante's <strong>The Divine Comedy</strong> and takes its title from a <strong>Hamlet</strong> soliloquy. The film's unique aesthetic is due to it being one of only a handful of films to be shot entirely on Fuji Velvia film, known for its vivid colour saturation. This turned out to be the perfect medium to convey the special effects and art direction, which won and were nominated for Oscars respectively. The original prints were lost in a studio back lot fire and a global search is being conducted to find an alternate copy.<br /> <br /> This was Vincent Ward's first US based production.
