A question for someone who saw the movie


Hi, I have a question for someone who saw this movie, cause in my country it never arrived. I saw a picture in which Virginia Madsen is in a river just like Shakespeare's Ophelia. Can you tell me why and how she ends there? Does she commit suicide or something like that? Please, help me, it's important!

reply

no she didn't die. her character,Lisa, is interested in photograghy, she was taking a picture of herself as Ophelia. bummer you can't see the film, it's one of my all time favorites!

Oh, that's great! I'm writing a thesis about the visual representation of Ophelia, so, if Lisa is taking a photograph as herself of Ophelia is an "art prodution" inspired to Ophelia put in another art production! What an interesting thing!

Thank you very much, Tina, you've been precious. I found that this movie has been translated, but on IMDB there it isn't credited the Italian title wich is "Le cascate del paradiso". Anyway I haven't found a copy of it, so your help has been very precious! Thanks and thanks again!

You can't get American movies in Italy?

reply

Yes, sure, we can. As you can see my previous message is very old (2007). At that time I couldn't find that movie and I had few time to have the information, so I prefered to ask, than to search for the movie. :)
