I watched Mrs. Soffel one night by accident. I was completely fascinated and since then I try to find it on video! The passion of acting showed by Diane Keaton as well as Mel Gibson is stunning. This bitter-sweet love story, no this drama is full of power, it will take your breath away as it took mine away. One of my favorite movies!
