Accadde in paradiso

This is my all-time favourite movie - I never tire of watching it and it's not just due to the lovely Tim Hutton!

A beautiful story of soul mates who meet and fall in love in heaven only to be parted and for them to find love (against all odds) again on Earth. Besides the wonderful leads this movie also features such diverse talents as Debra Winger, Ellen Barkin, Tom Petty, Neil Young, Matraca Berg etc. and the wonderful Neil Young penned song "We've Never Danced" sung by the talented Martha Davis.

A film not to miss.

Anytime that a movie is made about heaven, there is always the chance that people may find it unbelievable. This was not the case in this wonderful movie.

Timothy Hutton first plays Mike, a young man who dies tragically saving the lives of a woman and her two kids.

Then he does the worst possible thing that he could do. He falls in love in Heaven. In this movie, no matter who you are in Heaven, you will return to Earth.

He falls in love with Annie, played majestically by Kelly McGillis.

To make a long story short, Annie returns to Earth. And Mike begs to be returned, in hopes to find Annie on Earth as he did in Heaven. He has until his Thirtieth Birthday to find her. With Timothy Hutton and Kelly McGillis leading the way,and wonderful supporting performances by Maureen Stapleton, Mare Winningham, Timothy Daly, and someone who we will just call Emmett, Made in Heaven will touch your heart, make you think, and will show you that you can always find true love.

Watching this movie strikes a chord like no other movie I have ever seen. I first saw it several years ago, and it gripped me from the top of my head to the bottom of my toes. I cried like a baby while viewing this movie... not because it made me sad, but because it "evoked a memory of an intangible experience I am not certain I have had yet".

I continue to be challenged by the possibility this movie represents... Whenever I see this movie playing on cable, I try to flick off it... but am inexorably drawn to it... and must watch it in its entirety.

Thats just the way it is...

This movie ranks up there with all those that can be watched time and time again and they never seem to get old or boring. I love this movie and recommend it to everyone.

It is unfortunate that I am one of the few people I know who has seen this movie. I count it among my all time favorite films. It has a very different, fluid cinematic style, which I found very appealing. It is wonderfully written, acted, and directed, is very funny and in parts very touching. There are great cameo appearances by musicians Neil Young, Tom Petty and Ric Ocasek, as well as several actors who are oddly uncredited. "What Dreams May Come" was a disaster. "Made In Heaven" is a triumph. I can only hope it will be released on DVD.
