Product Description

In Resurrection, an unforgettable story of love and devotion, Ellen Burstyn delivers a tour-de-force performance as a woman who experiences clinical death and returns to life with the amazing ability to heal others. Attributing her powers to human love rather than divine intervention, she begins to aid the residents of her childhood town. After healing a zealous young farmer (Sam Shepard), she starts to fall in love with him. As their affair develops, he tries to make her confess that her powers come from God and not from within. Her refusal leads to a violent climax that will change the healer and all who touch her forever.

Customer Reviews

How people react when their faith is challenged.

Resurrection (1980) is outside of the star rating system. The acting, plot, and actors force you to be in the situation and forget that you are watching a movie. Ellen Burstyn, in "Same Time, Next Year" (1978) and "Goodbye Charlie" (1964), has a “more than” near-death experience. Unlike Spock in "Star Trek IV - The Voyage Home" (1986), she can and does explain the experience. She is estranged from her father over a difference in lifestyle. She is nearly plugged by her boyfriend for not being a religious fanatic. After her experience, she finds she can heal people and performs several healings at her own expense. The ending is quite appropriate for this movie, and none could improve on it. This one must be purchased because you need to watch it over again to pick up the nuances.
