Images of the Afterlife in Cinema: Stay

About

Psychiatrist, Dr Sam Foster (Ewan McGregor), becomes caught up in the mind games of his patient, a disturbed art student, Henry Letham (Ryan Gosling), who has threatened to kill himself on his upcoming twenty-first birthday. Foster desperately tries to track down the elusive Letham before his self-appointed date of decease and in being drawn into Letham's world starts to question his own stability and sanity. Visually stunning, Stay finishes with a twist that will leave you wanting to watch it over again immediately, searching for the previously overlooked clues as to whose story you have really been engaged in.
