Details

In the movie Waking the Dead (2000), a congressional candidate named Fielding Pierce begins to question his sanity when he witnesses his presumed-dead love interest, Sarah Williams, unexpectedly reappear in his life. This powerful and thought-provoking romantic drama explores themes of grief, memory, and the overwhelming power of love.

As Fielding delves deeper into his past, he is haunted by memories of his time with Sarah during their passionate and politically charged relationship in the 1970s. As he uncovers forgotten secrets and confronts his own guilt and regret, he becomes increasingly obsessed with the idea that Sarah might still be alive.

Through a non-linear narrative structure, the movie skillfully weaves together past and present, blurring the lines between reality and imagination. As Fielding becomes consumed by his quest for the truth, he risks his career and mental well-being, ultimately forcing him to confront the limits of his own understanding.

With compelling performances from Billy Crudup as Fielding Pierce and Jennifer Connelly as Sarah Williams, Waking the Dead immerses viewers in a story that intertwines political and personal struggles, while exploring the deepest corners of the human psyche. This captivating drama dares to question what it means to truly wake the dead.
