‘Fearless’

Jeff Bridges was never better than in this 1993 Peter Weir film in which he plays a man transformed by having survived an airplane crash. Rosie Perez (pictured) overacts as a fellow survivor to whom he is is drawn in the aftermath of tragedy. But Isabella Rossellini really comes into her own as actress in her portrayal of Bridges’ wife, struggling to understand. Bridges is more effective than the film is as a whole, but it is nevertheless a powerful, stirring experience. Adapted by Rafael Yglesias from his own novel. (HBO Sunday at 3:30 a.m.)
