I recently saw this for the first time since my senior year in high school, when I was too influenced by people ridiculing it as melodramatic to fully enjoy it, but this time around I found it a much worthier production.
What does not kill me makes me stranger.

It's so so for me.
Beautifully filmed and well acted, but the plot was ultimately centered around selfishness rather than selflessness.

I lost my patience with this production with its' mysterious patient as it made me impatient and I couldn't wait for it to end 😉😉
We shall meet in the place where there is no darkness.

I've never seen this.
In ways good and bad it is exactly like an installment of Masterpiece Theater circa late eighties. Even the filming looked retro Masterpiece Theater.
