What Dreams May Come (1998) **

On the one hand, it's a New Age soap opera peddling a mawkish, saccharine and nauseaous love story. But on the other hand, it's also a visual masterpiece, and one of the most gorgeous-looking pictures ever produced in Hollywood. Its cinematography is clearly inspired by the 19th-century Romantic paintings of Thomas Cole, Eugene Delacroix and Casper David Friedrich.
