Julie Delpy's Celine falls for Ethan Hawke's Jesse when Jesse relates a story of his deceased grandmother appearing to him in the mist thrown off my a summertime hose -- His parents told him that death is forever, but, he says, "I know what I saw." The question for the characters throughout the slow movement of the film is similar: What are they seeing, and how sure are they?

What a film to originally encounter in our late adolescence. What a film to revisit now.
