Robin Williams takes on
an emotionally painful role in
"What Dreams May Come."

Under Supervision of the
0 Council of Orthodox Rabbis

J

or

in that sleep of death what
dreams may come," William
Shakespeare wrote in
Hamlet, and the thought
lends itself perfectly to the film What
Dreams May Come, a fantastical jour-
ney into a richly imagined afterlife.
Chris (Robin Williams), a doctor,
and Annie (Annabella Sciorra), a
painter, meet and fall in love with
dizzying speed, never questioning that
the other is their ideal match. They
marry, establish a home, and have two
children with an assured faith that their
life is going the way it should.
But when their children are nearing
maturity, and showing what kind of
adults they will become, tragedy strikes.
Chris and Annie, always so solid and
confident, are faced with death that
seems not just inexplicable but cruel.
Then Chris, too, dies in a sudden acci-
dent and a despondent Annie commits
suicide.
In What Dreams May Come, open-
ing today and based on the novel by
Richard Matheson (Somewhere in

Time), these events are not the end but
the beginning of the story.
Chris finds himself in a heaven
whose visual landscape is composed of
Annie's paintings. His guide in this
new world (Cuba Gooding Jr.) reveals
that Annie has gone to a hell, and
Chris sets out to retrieve her, hoping
that he won't meet the same fate as
Orpheus.
"It's the stuff of your nightmares and
the stuff of your dreams," explained
Robin Williams in Los Angeles. During
print press interviews, Williams is less
manic than in his often outrageous
television appearances, more thoughtful
and accessible, but no less quick-witted.
"In your dreams," he said, "I think
you get previews and coming attrac-
tions of heaven and hell, if you believe
in heaven and hell. It's a weird thing,
because the moment you get into heav-
en and hell discussions, you get like, 'Is
it a Catholic heaven?' 'Is it a Jewish
heaven?' Williams effortlessly slips into
an accent and a punchline, "It's like
Miami on a nice day," he joked.
"What's extraordinary," he contin-
ued on a more serious note, "is a vision
of a very subjective heaven and hell,
