5 out of 5 stars the SOUND TRACK REVIEW & NOT THE MOVIE REVIEW.......2006-12-13

This is the most hauntingly melancholy score that you probably ever will listen to..it is achingly beautiful..while it is minimalist in nature it nonetheless is played full orchestra..regret,opportunities lost and missed,love that is both impulsive and deep-seated,these are some of the emotions that are hinted at by Bruce Broughton's score..perhaps his best work,Broughton is usually associated with more robust scoring,such as his western flavored score for the film"Tombstone",about the gunfight at the OK coral..While many scores suffer as stand-alone entities,this score does not...Indeed,I heard this score BEFORE viewing the film for which it was written...And because I heard this score I found myself saying:What kind of film could this be,to have such an emotional score?So try this album out...You won't be disappointed...

4 out of 5 stars Carried Away.......2005-10-03

Stay with this movie past what might look to you like "sleaze"- a very plain, middle-aged school teacher has an intense sexual relationship with his 17-year-old student--because it gets really good and becomes an examination of what he has with his equally-middle-aged, widowed, schoolteacher long-time love. What happens between them is the core of the movie. The principals are Dennis Hopper and Amy Irving. Dennis Hopper looks really ugly, and, of course, it's impossible for Amy Irving to look anything but lovely (even though they try here). They really make the movie. They're backed up by Hal Holbrook, Bary Busey, Julie Harris, and Priscilla Pointer. It's very well worth your time.

I expected this movie to be something I have already seen before. But what I got was something more and better than I had expected. Good performances by all involved.

5 out of 5 stars Second Chance at Love... Fine DVD From Fine Line Entertainment.......2005-07-20

This is a lovely movie, quiet and understated. It tells of a middle-aged couple who run a tiny two-classroom school in a rural farming community in Texas. Joseph (Dennis Hopper) has a bum leg from a childhood accident and walks with a crutch. Rosalee (Amy Irving) was once his high-school sweetheart. She went on to marry his best friend but has been a widow since the end of the Korean War. They have been carrying on a tepid romance for years which seems to be going nowhere. Then comes Catherine (Amy Locane), a precocious 17 year old who enrolls in Joseph's class and becomes enamoured with the older man. Her torrid affair with him sparks off his cooling relationship with Rosalee. The film is rated R and includes full frontal nudity of all three leads. Sex is portrayed in a naturalistic, mature way, unlike what we usually see in Hollywood movies. Perhaps because of its Brazilian director, Bruno Barreto, its sensibilities are more European than American. To its credit it doesn't go into the preachy moralism about underaged sex or student-teacher sex that such films tend to veer into. Instead it celebrates the rekindling of romance and a second chance at love for two aging people.

Fine Line Home Entertainment has provided a fine DVD transfer in the film's original 1.85:1 aspect ratio (anamorphic). The print is clean and free of damage. Picture quality is excellent. Images are sharp with good contrast. Colors are rich and vibrant. Black levels are well rendered. Sound is available in the original English Dolby 2.0 Stereo, a Dolby 5.1 Surround remix or a DTS 5.1 remix. Optional English and French subtitles are provided. There is an engaging commentary by both director Bruno Barreto and his wife Amy Irving.

4 out of 5 stars Amy, Amy.......2002-03-04

Honestly I didn't realize Amy Locane was such a bombshell until I watched this movie. And she also gave a very strong performance. Amy Irving did a really great job too. "Carried Away" came out in 1996, and I haven't seen in the last 5 years any other movie scene as explicit (and thought provoking at the same time) as the one with Irving and Hopper in the buff - yes, both of them. In the wrong hands, that kind of shots could have turned this terrific film into a Lolita-style soft porn.
