FOREVER YOUNG (1992) - ♦♦

Directed by - Steve Miner

Written by - J.J. Abrams

Starring - Mel Gibson

 

"Two children accidentally revive a man that had agreed to remain deep frozen for a year in 1939 after his girlfriend remains comatose – instead, he wakes up after 50 years. The story is a little strange, and doesn’t quite work out neither in a narrative sense nor in an aesthetic sense; however, this is one of the only times where the romantic ending does not appear sloppy and let the film down but rather gives the whole story a meaning."
