Ok, my two cents worth is _Nomad(s?)_ starring Pierce Brosnan
and (I think) Natassia Kjinski (don't pull me up on the sp.).
 
Anyway, I think this film has greater merit than it was originally
awareded because it contains several interesting premisses: it
draws a parallel between the ice deserts of the arctic and the
concrete desert of LA. Further the film begins with the raving
Brosnan (playing a French anthropologist) being brought into
hospital with major injuries when, the moment before he dies,
he shouts something into the ear of the nurse who then relives
his life through ast weeks of his life through hallucinations.
 
Although I can't give the film a good treatment here, I think
those who have seen it MAY agree with me.
 
 
Ave,
Simon
