Dead Again

I watched this movie on my own which stars Kenneth Brannaugh and emma Thompson in a mystery-film that spans generations, and includes an amnesiac and Robin Williams. The script is surprisingly intelligent and the actors play amazingly into their roles. There is a repeated motif of large scissors that comes together as Emma saves herself from her tormentor. It also serves as an interesting critique of the natural damsel in distress theme of most film noir- inspired films.
