Winter's Tale

Winter's Tale (2014) — watch online a fantasy romance directed by Akiva Goldsman on iFILM, with Colin Farrell as Peter Lake, a thief in turn-of-the-century Manhattan who breaks into the wrong house and falls for Beverly Penn — Jessica Brown Findlay — a young woman counting her final weeks to tuberculosis.

Peter's former boss, the gangster Pearly Soames played by Russell Crowe, has been hunting him for years and will not stop. A white horse with no ordinary explanation carries Peter out of danger — and eventually out of his own century. He wakes up in present-day New York with no memory of who he was, only an old photograph of a woman and the certainty that something unfinished is waiting for him. Jennifer Connelly appears in the contemporary storyline, and Will Smith has a brief but striking role as a figure who operates somewhere between myth and malice.

Goldsman adapted Mark Helprin's 1983 novel, a book that spent decades considered unfilmable. The dual timeline keeps both eras on the same streets: winter Manhattan as gaslit labyrinth, then as glass-and-steel maze — different centuries, same impossible love.
