Karry Best movie of this year hands down!
Console best movie i've ever seen.
Intcatinfo A Masterpiece!
Raymond Sierra The film may be flawed, but its message is not.
xoe_case I'm disappointed that the page for the movie gives no credit to the book Garden of Eden by Hemingway. The movie is very heavily based on the storyline of that book, taking whole passages and conversations almost verbatim. It is not one of his more famous novels, but it still seems unlikely that even a foreign release could get away with not crediting such an influential author. The movie itself is visually appealing and the production quality is pretty good. The acting is terrible though. Stiff and uninspired. I wouldn't have finished watching it had I not wanted to see if it ended the same way as the book. I do not recommend this movie overall.
Willy-Moerman Crombie made a wonderful movie about the "tenth muse" Sappho. He won with his interpretation of "sapphic" love the Golden Aphrodite-award during the Cyprus International Film Festival. A fragment of that movie that I uploaded to YouTube.com made an end to my account. It was merciless terminated. I was aware of the very big reactions against the movie of the church and anti-gays, but I didn't know the YouTube-team was part of them. Of course I did vehemently protest against their intolerance, but I received no answer. Scandalous! The video-clip they censored can be seen on my site "Ancient Greece and Rome in movies". That site can be found by typing "klassieke oudheid in bioscoop" in the Google-search-field.
chicagopoetry This is a pretty cheesy soft-core flick about a love triangle between two girls and a guy. Other than that, it is completely implausible, ridiculous, uninteresting, and unimportant. What is the moral of the story, if you can call it a story? Lesbians are only lesbians when their men are away. What the . . . I wonder how many lesbians would agree with that. Any other guy in his right mind would divorce this sick woman in no time flat when she started acting like an insensitive freak; sorry to say most guys would probably just slap the heck out of her and be done with it, jail or no jail, and that probably would have prevented a suicide at least. Why did she marry this poor sap if she only cared about herself? It doesn't matter that she's having an affair with a woman, she just as well could be having an affair with a guy, what difference does it make. Hey guys, do you want your wife cheating on you on your honeymoon? ICK. I know some people get into that whole swinger thing, but that's just it, it's a choice. Doesn't seem like hubby has much of a choice here. He really doesn't want to get involved with the creepy Russian dingbat who is seducing his wife, but he plays along with it helplessly in order to try to save his marriage, then the freak offs herself, and he runs away with the Russian chick? This is worse than a soap opera. There are some beautifully shot scenes of Greek islands, granted, but this movie isn't all that. Do Greek islands turn people into a-holes? Doubt it. This movie is cheesy and dumb and boring and predictable and badly acted and the plot goes nowhere and the dubbing is annoying. The only thing interesting in this movie is that the lead looks, acts and talks just like a young Cameron Diaz, so it's kind of hot watching this Cameron look alike doing all graphic lesbian sex scenes. But... Since when do rocks not hurt the human body? There would be a lot of bruises after so many romps in the rocks. When this screwy rich girl acting like trailer trash starts reciting poetry we have to wonder who wrote this garbage. The animosity she shows toward her husband isn't nearly as boggling as why he puts up with it. And the ending, the ending . . .aaaaaaahhhhh!!!! WHAT A STUPID MOVIE.
faerieface77 I couldn't watch this movie without cringing at the lead girl. She really was hard to watch. I felt like it was like playing dress up for her.This was apparently 1926 and I couldn't tell how old she was or what. She walked like Paris Hilton, Not Greta Garbo. She didn't seem to know anything about how an upperclass girl acted in 26. Also, did she have an accent? did she not? I really hope I don't see any more of this idiot.The lead actor though wasn't too bad. I felt like he really carried the movie for me.It was an OK movie over all. I won't watch it again. I can't bear the audacious acting.
