[SteveGon]

Another visually-exciting director, though the drama in his films sometimes seems to get second-billing.

Have the DVD of What Dreams May Come, I'll get around to watching it one of these days. Too bad Ward's Alien 3 never came to fruition. :frowning:

Name didn't ring a bell though I've obviously heard of a couple of his films.

River Queen (2005) (completed)

What Dreams May Come (1998) :star::star::star::star:1/2 - Unfairly trashed because it cost 80 million to make but is too unusual for a mainstream audience. All the more baffling that George likes it. The fact it grossed somewhere around 150 million is a testament in some way. I also love the fact that I was certain the Heaven scenes were shot in New Zealand, but they are actually Glacier National Park.

Map of the Human Heart (1993) :star::star::star: - Very nice, but the story is a bit convoluted.

The Navigator: A Mediaeval Odyssey (1988) :star::star::star:1/2 - Just a funky little story. Definitely Bergmanesque in the Medieval scenes.

Vigil (1984) - I need to seek this one out.
