About The Discovery of Heaven
Disappointed with humanity, God wants to revoke his contract with humanity and wants to take back the stone tablets containing the ten commandments. To this end an angel is sent out to affect the personal lives of three humans so an appropriate child may be conceived.
Directed by Jeroen Krabbé, The Discovery of Heaven leans on a strong ensemble — Stephen Fry, Greg Wise, Neil Newbon — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 2001.
