The ideas of Swedenborg can be found in many films, especially his images and accounts of Heaven. Underneath, you will find a selection of films that, in some way, best represent this theme: 

Time Bandits (1981)

Beetle Juice (1988)

The Sixth Sense (1999)

Stay (2005)

Wings of Desire (1987)

It’s a Wonderful Life (1946)

Jacobs Ladder (1990)

The Undiscovered Country (2005)

Flatliners (1990)

If you can write an account of one of the above, explaining how Swedenborg’s ideas are woven into your film of choice (in approximately 300 words) then the winning review will be featured on the website and on this newsletter. The winner will also win a copy of Into the Interior: Discovering Swedenborg by Gary Lachman. Send your reviews (by the 1st May), with your name, address and email to: The Editor, The Swedenborg Society, 20-21 Bloomsbury Way, WC1A 2TH or sales@swedenborg.org.uk
