Ben and Sera were just as troubled and they just clicked. In reality, there's probably no "Sera" anywhere for "Ben". I'm a pretty lonely guy and a hard drinker so watching this film makes me particularly sad. Still, one of the greatest films I know. I love a balance between tragedy and humor. Resulted in great beauty.
You should also look for the film "Stormy Monday" but director Mike Figgis. Wonderful film and soundtrack. Evokes a similar kind of beautiful sadness in the tragedy that so often is part of life.
This movie is very hard to watch. But that's what makes it so good. Two broken people get togehter and fall in love. This movie never tells us why the Nic Cage character is so depressed. All we know he was married and he has a kid. He never talks about it. It leaves the views to think his ex wife left him(becuz of his drinking, maybe we don't know). The lonely hooker's life is so sad. She gets beatup by her pimp and johns. The first "nice guy" she meets is a suicidal drunk.
It's really weird to be drunk all the time. I've been drinking for years and whenever I'm sober, sometimes it's hard to control the urge to not drink. Alcoholism is a bitch, but it is the alcoholics fault.
whenever i watch this movie, i cry. its the best romance movie i have ever seen and the piano music makes me want to drink, its like feeling someones pain
I still watch it when I'm drunk and sad... I play saxophon so I love the music.. then I love the sad story, it's so true for some people.. Best feelings from france Ben.
I agree. This movie not only shook me, but because of the point in time I watched it, it influenced me for the worse. This is a movie about making or breaking it in life, in living, as were my experiences in the past.
Don't forget Elisabeth Shue. Her role isn't as flashy as Cage's, but she is an equal partner in this film ... and holds her own with Cage.
I show this film in my classes and so many of my students just become overwhelmed by it. They love it, and so do I. One of my favorite films of the 90s.

Mike Figgis is THE most underrated, unknown genius we've got.
One of the most amazing things is that this is his music, too. As with most of his films.

En esta película Nicholas Cage todavía era muy bueno, luego hizo muy superficial creo yo. Aquí está excelente su actuación, igual la de ella.
