Details

In the large room, Meeting Room 1. I remember this being a memorable movie. Man, who doesn't miss Robin Williams? (h/t cinephile Carly)

RUNTIME: 113 minutes

SYNOPSIS: After Chris Nielsen (Robin Williams) dies in a car accident, he is guided through the afterlife by his spirit guide, Albert (Cuba Gooding Jr.). His new world is beautiful and can be whatever Chris imagines. Even his children are there. But, when his wife, Annie (Annabella Sciorra), commits suicide and is sent to hell, Chris ignores Albert's warnings and journeys there to save her. Upon arrival, Chris finds that rescuing Annie will be more difficult than he'd imagined.

BLURBS:
"A stunningly original visual journey to heaven, hell, and beyond." - Marjorie Baumgarten, Austin Chronicle

"What Dreams May Come' is so breathtaking, so beautiful, so bold in its imagination!" - Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times

"There's no way to convey the fun of the visuals through words. Unlike any movie since '2001: A Space Odyssey,' this is cinema as the ultimate hallucinogenic trip." - Paul Tatara, CNN.com
