Highly recommended:
“TRULY, MADLY, DEEPLY”(Great Britain; Anthony Minghella; Music Hall, 9 p.m.). In this comedy of love that survives the grave, you can spot a similarity between the deadpan sensibilities of debuting writer/director Anthony Minghella and that whimsical Scot Bill Forsyth (“Local Hero”). It’s inventive, dryly hilarious--the thinking person’s “Ghost.” A real find, absolutely not to be missed, nor over-described. (Sheila Benson)
