Fantastic drama with romance and fantasy. Days before a media tycoon William Parrish(Anthony Hopkins) celebrates his 65th birthday, he is visited by a strange enigmatic young man going by the name of Joe Black(Brad Pitt). Black reveals his true identity is Death and offers Parrish a few days reprieve in exchange for the patriarch's guidance throughout his brief stay on Earth. Black becomes part of the media mogul's business and personal life; and realizes he is in love with his daughter Susan(Claire Forlani).
Hopkins is excellent; while the attractive Pitt and Forlani exudes romance and have a sensual way of communicating with their eyes. Others featured are: Marcia Gay Harden, Jeffrey Tambor and Jake Weber. The birthday party is ritzy and the fireworks are quite the spectacle. MEET JOE BLACK is three hours well spent.
