Based on a story by Richard Matheson, What Dreams May Come is a surrealist tale of the afterlife. When Dr. Chris Nielsen dies in a car crash an old friend comes to guide him through the afterlife, but when Chris learns that his wife has committed suicide and is in Hell, he risks everything to find her. Featuring Robin Williams, Annabella Sciorra, Cuba Gooding Jr., and Max von Sydow, the casting is quite good. Additionally, the visual style is extraordinary, and looks like Renaissance paintings come to life. However, the storytelling is weak, and lacks subtlety and character development. Still, even with its flaws What Dreams May Come is an incredibly creative film that presents a fascinating vision of the spirit world.
I loved it only for... Dante! The wonderful Dante Alighieri! This movie takes inspiration from The Divine Comedy.
This movie is sad, fabulous. The setting is well done. Absolutely I recommend it to all people who loves Dante.
P.s. Sorry for my bad english. I'm studying it.
Well this film was powerful, such a lovley film, and strong acting from robin willams, never fails to amaze me.. RIP dude! ;( 6.5/10
Man I miss Robbin Williams. This movie will always be a classic.
It was a nice journey with some great effects and a unique story but i can't say i loved it.Robin Williams was one of the best actors such a great talent.
6.5/10
In absolute agreement with what another poster has said, this is a beautiful movie clearly inspired by Dante's Divine Comedy as well as Renaissance art. A delight to watch.
A great movie, with a great story, with a great actor as the main character is the easiest way to describe this feature film.
The first time I saw it, I didn't know how great its meaning could be. The fact of going down to hell just to rescue the person you love, I had no idea of the enormous sacrifice that would mean. Now that I am old enough to understand what this film wants to convey, I can say that it is a great movie to share with your partner. not to mention that the ending gives me hope that even in the next life I will be with my true love
Highly artistic and emotional

life after death?
Excellent movie.....I laughed and cried. It was not exactly what I expected... a journey into a supernatural realm. The special effects were simply awesome! Robin Williams will never cease to amaze me. He gave a wonderful performance, as did Annabella Sciora, and Cuba Gooding, Jr. True love, the kind that puts your partner before yourself, is clearly shown in this film. The film also makes you what to call everyone you haven't talked to for a while and let them know how you feel about them. It gives the viewer lots to discuss.
