During a car accident, Vincent Eastman watches his whole life flash before his eyes, and he doesn't like what he sees.

So why can't he choose between the two, especially when his indecision is taking its toll on his daughter?

Wonderful character development!
Beautiful, moving film.
It's hard to see any effort in the film. There's no comedy to speak of, no real drama and, worst of all.
This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.
Not a fan of Richard Gere but as Vincent he does a very good performance here. When we see the women Vincent is involved with we must ask ourselves the question: 'Does this man really need women?' Sharon Stone's character is an annoying social climber. Olivia is a pushy, interrogating drama queen. Vincent is not shy about showing his annoyance with them but he wimpily attempts to 'be reasonable' and 'go along to get along'--the beginning of male self-castration in marriage. It's obvious to me this man needs his work more than he needs any woman--so why not dump these two ball-busters and and all women. It would be a happier life for him.
It seems rather apt that both Richard Gere and Sharon Stone should star in this lame drama, as they both appear to be cultivating a true talent for choosing lousy scripts. "Intersection" makes for a fine companion piece to both these thesps' recent works ("Final Analysis" and "Basic Instinct").Mark Rydell fails to generate any interest in the ordinary plot, the love triangle nor the three lead players. Richard Gere, Sharon Stone and Lolita Davidovich don't help much either, and the structure of the storyline (huh, what storyline?) is poor.All "Intersection" leaves its audience with is the question of why they even bothered. At least something happened in "Basic Instinct"!Sunday, April 24, 1994 - Village Southland
Richard Gere stars in this American-made remake of the 1970 film Les Choses de la vie of French Director Claude Sautet based on the novel by Paul Guimard. This time around Mark Rydell, who enjoyed success with On Golden Pond, Cinderella Liberty, The Rose and The Reivers among others is the director. Sharone Stone, Lolita Davidavich and Martin Landau round out the cast but this is clearly a Richard Gere film. Although I'm generally not a fan of Gere he is excellent in this. This does have the feel of a European film and although I've never seen the original I would like to. I'd likely find it better as a whole. This is a good drama and although not a big movie it has a good look to it. I would give this a 7.0 on a scale of 10 for it's likable story and performance by Richard Gere,
Spoilers herein.I admit to a weakness for any film that attempts to be architectural in some fundamental way. Even the failures - and they are mostly failures - are usually interesting. And this one features a redhead as well, a cinematic device that is similarly architectural in some ways. But that is another story.One of the small number (23?) of plots is: man makes - literally creates - his own world and it turns on him. He usually wins except in `adult' films where he doesn't. In this case, the creative medium is architectural. I'm not usually a fan of Gere, but I have to appreciate the way he moves. He's a dancer and the relationship he has to space is apt. The backdrop is rather ordinary: he is an architect we are told but the architecture shown is underwhelmingly faddish. But there is a nice touch in that the museum is for the Potlatch culture where the space of one is designed by the other side.A particularly apt architectural metaphor for the conflict depicted here, and the gifts exchanged at the end.Ted's Evaluation -- 2 of 3: Has some interesting elements.
