better than run-of-the-mill drama/romances

Rating: 9/10 (15 August 2000)

"Meet Joe Black" is made wonderful by great photography and the arresting presence of Claire Forlani. Brad Pitt and Anthony Hopkins, no doubt, worked their magic on screen as well. But, the story is conceptually amazing. It's not everyday filmmakers dream up a romance involving death and its acceptance of life.
