1994 was a crappy year for me. My father had just died of cancer. My nephew died after a few days of life. I had a bit of a mental breakdown and dropped out of university and fell out with close friends.
Around that time I discovered a couple of movies made a few years before starring Alan Rickman.
One was Truly, Madly Deeply (1991) which really helped me through the grieving process and the other was Closet Land (1991) which was a truly horrific depiction of torture with hardly any gore at all which really informed my politics and helped me get my mojo back. Thanks for that Mr Rickman. I wonder how much closer to solutions to these horrid diseases if we stopped blowing each other up.
