Synopsis

Oscar® nominee Kenneth Branagh (Henry V) and Oscar ® winner Emma Thompson (Howards End*) give dazzling dual-role performances in this supernatural-tinged romantic murder mystery. Mike Church (Branagh) is a L.A. gumshoe with a knack for tossing off wisecracks and tracking down missing persons. But Church doesn’t have a clue when he’s hired to help a beautiful amnesia victim (Thompson) tormented by blood-curdling nightmares. Then an eccentric antiques dealer and hypnotist (Derek Jacobi) leads Church to a startling discovery: The source of the nightmares may lie in a past-life connection to Margaret Strauss, a world-famous pianist allegedly murdered by her composer husband… in 1948. In the classic tradition of Spellbound and Rebecca, Dead Again “brings an entertaining genre back to life” (Tom Jacobs, Los Angeles Daily News). Costarring Andy Garcia.
