Alan Rickman: Scenes
built 645 days ago
Towards the end of the play, Alan and a stable girl have a love scene that goes badly wrong. The scene is, in all senses of the word, revealing, in that it involves nudity. How do you approach it?
On second viewing, Minghella's schmaltzy weepy calls more for buckets than hankies, but Rickman's frosty ghost is much sexier than the music therapist who replaces him. Love the scene where he invites his dead mates around to watch Woody Allen videos.
A later scene shows Alan working in an electrical store, where he meets "Jill" and ultimately is pointed towards a job at the stables by her. She shows him how to groom a horse, a task way beyond Alan’s wildest dreams. After Jill leaves the stage the music and lighting go very dark and mysterious and the horses’ behavior becomes quite menacing. Alan just stands there as the horses seemingly "move in" on him. He’s not afraid and begins to take the horses out during the night.
The DVD has a brief "Behind The Scenes Featurette" with members of the cast (among them Mr. Rickman) discussing the making of the film. There is no other extra material in the DVD.
