Sliding Doors

Sliding Doors

1998

Two universes unfold in writer-director Peter Howitt's romantic fantasy about alternate realities, fate and train timetables. In the first scenario, Londoner Helen Quilley (Gwyneth Paltrow) squeezes through the subway train's doors just in time, making it home to find her boyfriend (John Lynch) fooling around with another woman. In the second, she misses the train and returns to her flat none the wiser. Which is better?

There are two sides to every story. Helen is about to live both of them ...at the same time. Romance was never this much fun.
