- Synopsis
- Branagh stars as Mike Church, a Los Angeles detective who is drawn into the life of Grace (Emma Thompson), a woman with amnesia who is plagued by disturbing nightmares. Attempts to help her regain her memory bring them to Franklyn Madson (Derek Jacobi), a mysterious hypnotist who runs an antique shop. Under hypnosis, Grace claims that in a previous life she was Margaret Strauss, a concert pianist who was murdered by her jealous husband, Roman. Further sessions lead her to believe that Mike is actually Roman reincarnated and that the two are destined to re-create the murder. Mike must then attempt to solve two mysteries--the real identity of Grace and the true story behind a 40-year-old crime.

- Critics' reviews
-
-
"The ambitious, initially intriguing Dead Again fails so spectacularly it may well become the fetish of a camp cult."
-
"Deliciously witty and entertaining… A first-rate thriller"
-
"With its stylized black-and-white sequences and fast-paced melodramatic plot, this homage to film noir is both intense and purposely self-conscious."
-
"The more Branagh strains to appear “cinematic,'' the more he looks like a man of the theater."
-
"A big, convoluted, entertainingly dizzy romantic mystery melodrama"
-
"It's fun to see somebody revive the amnesia genre - how long has it been? - but the conceit quickly grows irksome"
-
"Loads of fun even if it's ultimately strangled by its excesses"
-
"Directing with an eye to "Rebecca," Branagh brings more mood than suspense to this apparent hommage to Hitchcock. Still, he raises no goose bumps."
