Academy Award® winners Halle Berry and Benicio Del Toro star in director Susanne Bier’s (the Oscar®-nominated “After the Wedding”) powerful new drama “Things We Lost in the Fire” Audrey Burke (Berry) is reeling from the shock of the news that has just been delivered to her door by the local police: her warm and loving husband Brian (David Duchovny), the father of their two young children, has been killed in a random act of violence. Once anchored by the love and comforts of their 11-year marriage, Audrey is now adrift. Impulsively, she turns to Jerry Sunborne (Del Toro), a down-and-out addict who has been her husband’s close friend since childhood. Desperate to fill the painful void caused by her husband’s death, Audrey invites Jerry to move into the room adjacent to their garage in the hope that he can help her and her children cope with their sudden loss. Jerry is facing a daily battle to stay off drugs, but in his unexpected role as surrogate parent and friend to Audrey’s son and daughter he finds a core of inner resilience. As Jerry and Audrey navigate grief and denial, their fragile bonds are constantly tested. Working together, however, they discover the strength to move forward.

평가 및 리뷰

Wounds of the soul do not come from the loss of things - rather, from the loss of relationship. The title of the movie intentionally, like a mirror, invites us to join with Susanne Bier in seeing not the mirror itself but rather the image reflected - the emphasis beyond the things of life to the meaning of living. Beautifully crafted, the movie puts into focus the perspective that deep relationship is born of knowing others where they actually live - in their feelings. This movie was recommended to me by a friend who lives half way around the world. In seeing this movie, and knowing that it was meaningful to him, though he comes from a very different place and a very different culture, I saw my friend's heart from half a world away. Thank you Susanne.
