Editorial Review:
When police won't help capture the man responsible for her husband's death, Phillipa takes matters into her own hands with the help of a sympathetic police officer.

Media Type: DVD
The luminous Cate Blanchett (Elizabeth, The Lord of the Rings) stars as a British teacher living in Italy who's driven to plant a bomb on a drug dealer in cahoots with the police. When she is arrested and interrogated, she learns that her bomb went awry and killed four innocents; a young policeman (Giovanni Ribisi, Saving Private Ryan) is so struck by her grief that he falls helplessly in love with her and throws aside his entire life to help her. Directed by Tom Tykwer (Run Lola Run) from a screenplay cowritten by the late Krzysztof Kieslowski (Trois Couleurs, The Double Life of Veronique), Heaven is a film with an astonishing compassion for the power and fragility of human relationships, coupled with a faith that forces beyond our understanding can shape our lives. It's a stunning, mysterious movie that may affect you in surprising ways. --Bret Fetzer

Rating:  - Excellent and intriguing film!
Heaven is a gem that I discovered in a magazine that covers upcoming films. Director Tom Tykwer (Run Lola Run)provides a wonderful script that is only paralleled by excellent acting on the part of Cate Blanchett and Giovanni Ribisi. I highly recommend this film!
Rating:  - Heaven
Although the film photography is compelling and Kate Blanchett's acting hits a high mark, the film is disappointing in that its depiction of an unexplainable sudden love falls short of credibility. The movie is boring and the only value it has lies on the showing of beautiful scenes of the Italian countryside.
Rating: - heaven is heaven
This movie is so amazing. I found it accidentally while browsing the program guide on the tv. I hit the info button for a quick little synopsis. If it just had the cast without a little info, I would have watched it anyway. Blanchett and Ribisi have this really powerful, surprising chemistry. The photography is really what makes the movie amazing, for me anyway. I am someone who really pays attention to the photography more than the dialogue at times. It's just fantastic. A really powerful tale.
Rating: - Misterios del amor
No es predecible lo gran lograda que es la pelicula hasta con el transcurrir de ella. Cada minuto entrega elementos que sorprenden por su simpleza pero a la vez por la profundidad y delicadez de las interpretaciones de Cate y Giovani. Quizás pueda desilusionar un poco el final, dado lo acontecido a lo largo de la pelicula. El amor, no lo definiría en esta pelicula, pues de una parte está muy claramente demostrado, mas no por la otras, ahí la magia o la desilusión de la trama. Gran pelicula para ... Read More
Rating:  - A real shame...
I had wanted to see this movie for some time because I love Kieslowski and rather enjoyed Tykwer's films that I've seen. Unbeknownst to me, I rented a movie that should have ended 30 minutes before it actually did. While the story started out well, it ended giving me the same feeling that I had with watching Nic Cage in City of Angels.....I just kinda felt like the characters sucked in ether and stopped participating in the film itself. I get the point of the movie but I don't equate pennance and guilt ... Read More
