What happens

Dead Again is a 1991 neo-noir romantic thriller film directed by Kenneth Branagh and written by Scott Frank. It stars Branagh and Emma Thompson, with Andy GarcĂ­a, Derek Jacobi, Hanna Schygulla, Wayne Knight, and Robin Williams appearing in supporting roles. A woman with amnesia is taken in by a Los Angeles orphanage, which enlists private eye Mike Church to track down her identity. However, a past life connection they may share could endanger their lives. Dead Again was a moderate box-office success, and received positive reviews from the majority of critics. Jacobi was nominated for a BAFTA Award for Best Actor in a Supporting Role, and Patrick Doyle, who composed the film's music, was nominated for a Golden Globe for Best Original Score.
