Synopsis
Love can carry us through the darkest places imaginable, as long as we refuse to stop searching for the people who matter most. Vincent Ward's "What Dreams May Come," adapted from Richard Matheson's novel, stars Robin Williams as Chris Nielsen, a devoted husband and father whose family has already been shattered by the loss of their two children. When Chris is killed in a car accident, he awakens in a breathtaking afterlife shaped like his wife's own paintings, guided by a gentle spirit named Albert (Cuba Gooding Jr.). But back on Earth, his wife, Annie (Annabella Sciorra), overwhelmed by grief, takes her own life, and her soul becomes trapped in a dark, hellish realm of despair. Told that no one has ever rescued a soul from such a place, Chris refuses to give up and sets out on a perilous journey, aided by a mysterious Tracker (Max von Sydow), to find her. Its Oscar-winning visual effects are stunning.
