Mike Church (Branagh) es un detective de Los Ángeles especializado en la búsqueda de personas desaparecidas. Pero el último trabajo que le han encargado es muy distinto: debe ayudar a una hermosa mujer (Emma Thompson) a recuperar la memoria perdida, a descubrir quién es. La única pista es una pesadilla recurrente en la que alguien, en los años cuarenta, la apuñala con unas tijeras. El sueño es de un realismo tal que ha convertido su vida en un infierno. Mike decide poner un anuncio en un periódico para encontrar a alguien que conozca a la chica y pueda ayudarle. Se presenta Franklyn Madson (Derek Jacobi), anticuario e hipnotizador, que propone adentrarse en sus recuerdos mediante la hipnosis. Así es como empieza a recordar, pero no su propia vida, sino la de Margaret Strauss, famosa pianista de los años 40 que murió asesinada. (United International Pictures)

Kenneth Branagh directed a film that could be called Hitchcockian, both in terms of the tension that can be cut with a knife and is built on a good script, as well as in terms of the used humor, which is a pleasant seasoning here. It works great until the end, where it has a touch of Italian giallo in its madness. A surprise for me.

Dead Again is obviously an ambitious film directed by one of the most respected British film and theater creators, and as such, it is masterfully cast and competently acted. Kenneth Branagh was the life partner of Emma Thompson until their infamous divorce, and so the chemistry between the two main characters truly works. Unfortunately, the form clearly outweighs the content. The screenplay is overly complicated, with a tendency toward pathos, and Branagh fails to understand that today's era is more civilized than the Shakespearean one. Also, the mysterious content goes over my head and I don't really understand the reincarnation and playfulness with fate. The pathos is dominated by the theatrical bloody finale. Overall impression: 50%.
