Madly, Deeply is a rare invitation into the mind of Alan Rickman—one of the most magnetic, beloved performers of our time.
From his breakout role in Die Hard to his outstanding, multifaceted performances in the Harry Potter films, Galaxy Quest, Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves, and more, Alan Rickman cemented his legacy as a world-class actor. His air of dignity, his sonorous voice, and the knowing wit he brought to each role continue to captivate audiences today.
But Rickman’s ability to breathe life into projects wasn't confined to just his performances. As you'll find, Rickman's diaries detail the extraordinary and the ordinary, flitting between worldly and witty and gossipy, while remaining utterly candid throughout. He takes us inside his home, on trips with friends across the globe, and on the sets of films and plays ranging from Sense and Sensibility, to Noël Coward's Private Lives, to the final film he directed, A Little Chaos.
Running from 1993 to his death in 2016, the diaries provide singular insight into Rickman's public and private life. Reading them is like listening to Rickman chatting to a close companion. Meet Rickman the consummate professional actor, but also the friend, the traveler, the fan, the director, the enthusiast; in short, the man beyond the icon.

Loved the Dogma and Galaxy Quest Stuff. I just struggle with biographical stuff. Enjoyable when I knew what he was talking about. Especially his current events stuff was interesting to see his thoughts on many things.
It feels like I'm looking through something which wasn't meant to be read and looked into. It's not bad, but it's not meant to be read for sure.
No rating for this one.
Not because I didn't like it, but because how do you rate one's life.
I'm just glad I've read it and met him in a way. Alan turned out to be different from what I've expected. But it's OK. We all have our own personalities and these pages were originally written not to be read by others.
I have some very little doubt though if Alan himself would've liked these pages to be published.
jsem biased protože jsem toho půlku překládala
a taky miluju, že je alan socialista
