Dana (Victoria Foyt), a young American woman travelling on business in Jerusalem, meets a mysterious older French woman at a café (Aviva Marks) who shares a fascinating story of lost love revolving around the expensive antique ruby pin she's wearing. The woman exits the café abruptly, leaving the pin behind and Dana, who is on her way to meet her fiancé (Michael Brandon) for a "pre-honeymoon" week in London, finds herself forced to reschedule her trip through Paris in an unsettling attempt to return the jewel. Thus begins a journey that leads Dana first to the English coastal town of Dover, where she finds herself strongly drawn to an inexplicably familiar stranger named Sean (Stephen Dillane), and later to a country home in London, where among others, she encounters the extraordinary Skelly (Vanessa Redgrave), a woman whose passionate belief in "jumping off the cliff" of life has a profound effect upon Dana.
"DÉJÀ VU" is a film about the powerful pull that strangers can feel toward one another, how one's orderly life-plans can be suddenly and totally disrupted by mysterious feelings of connection and belonging that seem to defy all logic and circumstance. Ultimately Dana - and we - must confront the question: Does one have choices to freely make or does fate invariably and irrevocably determine our destiny?
Filmed on location in Israel, France and England, "DÉJÀ VU" has an exceptional cast, which includes, in addition to Ms. Foyt, Mr. Dillane, Mr. Brandon, Ms. Marks and Ms. Redgrave: Glynis Barber, Vernon Dobtcheff, Graydon Gould, Noel Harrison, Rachel Kempson and Anna Massey.
Produced by John Goldstone, written by Victoria Foyt and Henry Jaglom and directed by Henry Jaglom, "DÉJÀ VU" is a Rainbow Film Company/Revere Entertainment Co-Production of A Jagtoria Film.
