In this episode Mark talks about one of his favourite films: the 1990 British fantasy drama film "Truly, Madly, Deeply", written and produced by Anthony Minghella. The story follows Nina (played Juliet Stevenson), an interpreter, who is grieving the recent death of her boyfriend, Jamie (played by Alan Rickman) who was a cellist before his sudden and untimely death. As Nina struggles to cope with Jamie's loss and unable to move on from him, and at a point of utter despair, Jamie suddenly reappears as a ghost - however, there is more to Jamie's reappearance to Nina than meets the eye, and as a result Nina finds herself reevaluating her relationship with Jamie she also meeting someone new who she develops feelings for, a psychologist by the name of Mark (played by Michael Maloney), which ultimately leads Nina to feel torn between the ghost of her dead boyfriend and the potential of a new relationship and a new beginning. The film is so beautifully written, directed, and acted, and it is a truly deep and heartfelt depiction of the power of love that can sometimes be perceived as madness but which in reality is a bond and connection shared that can live on after death.
