Fearless

Peter Weir, 1993 (9.0*)
After walking away from a passenger jet crash unharmed, Jeff Bridges becomes fearless of death. Thus psychologically transformed, his wife Isabella Rossellini no longer interests him as much as fellow crash survivor Rosie Perez, as a mother who blames herself for losing her baby in the crash. Rosie turned in her best acting performance which garnered her an Oscar® nomination for supporting actress.

This is my favorite film of Australian director Peter Weir, who always makes intelligent, thought-provoking films (Witness, Picnic at Hanging Rock, The Truman Show, Mosquito Coast), and this strong parable of survival and immortality is no exception.
