Brad Pitt and Anthony Hopkins reunite after the classic film they made" Legends of the Fall "which was reviewed on this blog,and make this film adding a woman I am now in love with,Claire Forlani in a very,very weird spin on the old Faustian deal with the devil idea.In this case the devil is death itself and it comes for this 65 old year rich guy with a offer to let him live day to day if death can be at his side to see what life is all about.Now as outlandish as this sort of plot is,coupled with only the rich get these perks,which I hate,IT WORKS !!!! That is because of these three actors and a reasonable supporting cast.As strong as Brad and Anthony are,my heart melts every time I see Claire.That said,I had to take off a full star for the outlandishly long length of 178 minutes!!! Released in 1998 you have to give it time.If you do,you will be rewarded. Trailer URL follows the picture and a IMDB summary below.
Bill Parrish, media tycoon, loving father and still a human being, is about to celebrate his 65th birthday. One morning, he is contacted by the Inevitable - by hallucination, as he thinks. Later, Death itself enters his home and his life, personified in a man's body: Joe Black has arrived. His intention was to take Bill with him, but accidentally, Joe's former host and Bills beautiful daughter Susan have already met. Joe begins to develop certain interest in life on earth as well as in Susan, who has no clue who she's flirting with. Written by Julian Reischl <julianreischl@mac.com>
