Product Description:
Academy Award® winners Halle Berry and Benicio Del Toro star in director Susanne Bier s (the Oscar®-nominated After the Wedding ) powerful new drama Things We Lost in the Fire Audrey Burke (Berry) is reeling from the shock of the news that has just been delivered to her door by the local police: her warm and loving husband Brian (David Duchovny) the father of their two young children has been killed in a random act of violence. Once anchored by the love and comforts of their 11-year marriage Audrey is now adrift. Impulsively she turns to Jerry Sunborne (Del Toro) a down-and-out addict who has been her husband s close friend since childhood. Desperate to fill the painful void caused by her husband s death Audrey invites Jerry to move into the room adjacent to their garage in the hope that he can help her and her children cope with their sudden loss. Jerry is facing a daily battle to stay off drugs but in his unexpected role as surrogate parent and friend to Audrey s son and daughter he finds a core of inner resilience. As Jerry and Audrey navigate grief and denial their fragile bonds are constantly tested. Working together however they discover the strength to move forward.DVD Features: Commentary: A Discussion About Things We Lost In The Fire Additional Scenes: Neal Does "Mumsie" For Dory Additional Scenes: Dwayne ODs Additional Scenes: Howard Tests Jerry Additional Scenes: Jerry Makes Breakfast Additional Scenes: It All Comes Down To The Finish Additional Scenes: Family Breakfast Additional Scenes: Audrey Gives Jerry the Cupboard Trailers: Theatrical TrailerFormat: DVD MOVIE Genre: DRAMA/STARTING OVER Rating: R UPC: 097363500940 Manufacturer No: 350094

"Dad, what does 'fluorescent' mean?" asks a winsome young Dory of his doting dad, played by David Duchovny. Pondering a moment, dad answers, "It means, 'lit from within." "So Dad, am I fluorescent?'" "Yes, Dory, you are." The touching, brief moment telegraphs the bond Duchovny's character, Brian, has with his family, including wife Audrey (Halle Berry) and daughter Harper (Alexis Llewellyn), and the love that radiates through and around him. When tragedy strikes early in the film, Berry and the children must acknowledge, and somehow heal, the hole left in their lives. And in that human effort, so little explored in American films, Things We Lost in the Fire holds a luminous candle to the hope left in life--sometimes when all that seems to be left is hope. Directed by the talented Danish director Susanne Bier (Brothers), Fire is allowed to unfold almost in real time as grief washes over the family, and Berry gives one of her most memorable performances, captured mostly in tiny details that will hit the viewer in the soul. Her eyes, the carriage of her head, her slim shoulders appearing to buckle under the weight of her sorrow--Berry is well directed here and shows that her performance in Monster's Ball was no fluke. As she begins to connect with Brian's childhood friend Jerry (Benicio Del Toro), a new family web is woven--irregular, to be sure, but strong and comforting. Other affecting performances are given by the talented charater actor John Carroll Lynch, as Brian's friend and neighbor, and by the heartbreaking Llewellyn, an actress of stunning range for a child so young. Things We Lost in the Fire holds a torch in the deepest darkness, and lets souls connect--a rare gift indeed. --A.T. Hurley

This movie took a couple of weeks to be delivered, so if you order it be prepare to wait. But did arrive in great condition. I would do it again.

I was really suprised by this film. The acting is strong and obviously well directed. Del Torro, Duchoveny, and Berry really shine here. Berry has chops that she seems to not get credited for very often. This film explores very profound issues and themes like grief, friendship, addiction, and our fleet and seemingly fragile existence on this planet. How do we relate to our loved ones, the people we don't really like, and strangers, and how those relationships evolve in the face of some of these ... Read More

Not a major Halle Berry fan I was sceptical if she could carry a 'heavy' role like this but she blew the audience away as did her fellow academy award winner (Benicio Del Toro)
A heavy topic and a very sad setting nevertheless the story was told with such intensity and dare I say in such a 'non Hollywood manner' ... by the oscar nominated Danish Director Bier who had already previously shined in many movies and is an up and coming director. This was the (almost) mainstream version of her ... Read More

Susanne Bier's 2004 masterpiece `Brodre' was far and away one of the best films I've seen this decade. Having seen that recently again I decided that, despite my preconceived notions of her English film `Things we Lost in the Fire' (mainly that I find Berry rather uneven as an actress and doubted her ability to sell the film), I really wanted to see it.
So I did, this past Saturday.
While I have some reservations about the plot in general, I have to admit that this film was ... Read More

The title of the movie wasn't much attraction for me. I never heard of the movie before, I just happened to have it on TV. I started watching it and it sucked me in! I mean I could NOT stop watching it. I love movies but I must admit, when I'm at home watching them I tend to get up and do something...never happened with this movie! It was so intense...so passionate...and plenty of great acting. Pleasantly surprised...and yes, you will need a kleenex or two.
