Truly, Madly, Deeply

Truly, Madly, Deeply is a 1990 British fantasy music drama film made for the BBCs Screen Two series, by BBC Films, Lionheart and Winston Pictures. The film, written and directed by Anthony Minghella, stars Juliet Stevenson and Alan Rickman.

Minghella said he wrote the script specifically as a vehicle for Stevenson to express all her talents. She plays piano, likes dancing and has a quirky side to her which she usually cant express in the classical parts she is asked for. The title comes from a word game played by the main characters, in which they challenge each other to by turns repeat and add to a series of adverbs describing the depths of their mutual affection. The working title for the film was Cello, a reference not only to the cello within the film, but also to the Italian word cielo for heaven. The film was madeforTV, and produced in a 28day shooting schedule for just 650,000.It was shot on location in London and Bristol, with external shots in Highgate and on the South Bank. Stevenson said in 2012 that it was the favourite role of her career, commenting that the shoot was like a party. ........
