Dead Again (1991)
Directed by Kenneth
Branagh he also stars in this film alongside Emma Thompson, Andy
Garcia and Derek Jacobi. A young woman with amnesia is haunted by the
past and is helped by a private detective.
Clearly influenced by
film noir this psychological thriller does a good job of capturing
the tone of film noir in the sections set in the past and does have a
hint of Hitchcock about it. The plot is pretty much mystic rubbish
but does have an interesting twist towards the end. It is strange to
hear Branagh and Thompson affecting American accents but they do so
pretty well, it is the make used to make Andy Garcia old that is the
only real let down in the execution of the film.
4/5
