Customer Reviews:

1 out of 5 stars A Waste of Time Indeed . . ........2007-05-22

I find Charles Dance to be an interesting actor, but truly this is one of the dumbest films I've seen in years. My time would have been better spent outside washing my truck. You get a better sense of love, romance, and sex from an episode of EVERYBODY LOVES RAYMOND.

4 out of 5 stars A Rich Delight!.......2006-07-17

I lush film of great intensity and subtlty. The relationships are intricate, and developed with admirable depth, particularly the character portrayed by Charles Dance, who combines passion with warmth, sensitivity and whimsy, and reveals the inner thoughts of the character to the audience with convincing candor- enough, but not TOO MUCH! A visual delight- a memorable adventure!!!

1 out of 5 stars Waste of Time.......2005-06-19

Two couples come together in a romantic sort of Tuscan setting and have off-camera sex. Hijinks follow. All four characters are thin and uninteresting, so the "climax" just leaves the viewer uninterested and wishing there were something more to the film. The visuals, the countryside and buildings, are sort of catchy, but the characters and plot are hollow. Two good hours wasted.

4 out of 5 stars nnice film about love and sex.......2001-07-23

I bought this movie without seeing it because it's from the creators of Angels and Insects which I enjoyed, and my gamble turned out to pay off pretty well. Not a fancy movie or a masterpiece of any kind, but a beautifully filmed and subtle film about the relationships between two couples. The scenery is really gorgeous, and I found the dialogue to be sparce but poignant and the sex to be tasteful and almost innocent. IT's almost a coming of age story about two middle aged couples who grow up the hard way. Nothing to die for, but an enjoyable and sensual film.

1 out of 5 stars Rather Insipid Drivel.......2001-02-12

This film is, rather sadly, lacking in merit. It isn't sensual, it isn't inspired and it isn't worth much time.

The storyline involves two couples in an exotic country who engage in various escapades and the (sometimes unpleasant) consequences of said liasions. However, the thin plot meanders and the characters become unsympathetic early on. This viewer became utterly disinterested within the first half hour.

There are a handful of exquisitely filmed scenes that make wonderful use of light, shadow and color. However, these snippets of brilliance cannot and do not carry the day.
