Matters of the Heart

Not a *really* bad performance, but this formula movie didn't have any surprises. Jane Seymour does a great job as the recluse musician, but the story does not even nearly rise to her level. Christopher Gartin does have his moments making all the goofy mistakes that an 18-year-old really makes.

n.b. in the 1990's, there were no rich famous people driving MGA's.

Though this movie is not so much evaluated or taken it up as movie topics in Japan, I like it and saw it twice on Video in recent. Japanese title is "a Requiem to my lover", I think it is really right title and remain deeply in my heart forever. The scene in which she is about to die in her bed in the hospital and try to listen to his performance in Piano Competition from radio stirs me up so strong!

Excellent job of Jane Seymour as Hadley Norman. IMO it's believable. Jane at her best! And a great Christopher Gartin whom I haven't heard of before I saw the movie. Wonderful score and beautiful pictures.If you are a fan of Jane Seymour (I am!) and haven't seen this movie yet, it will move you to tears.
