Not something I would watch again
To be honest, I thought this movie was pretty terrible. It was slow and the acting was terrible... especially from Sappho, played by Avalon Barrie. It seemed too forced, and was simply obnoxious. I guess if you want to see boobs and people, especially girls, in general getting it on, then this movie is for you. But even then, I wouldn't really recommend it, I'm sure there are other, better ways to see those things. Allow me to summarize: So a couple on their honeymoon, a painter and a "free spirit" meet a young lonely Russian. The wife is drawn into a lesbian relationship with the Russian and encourages her husband to also love the woman. Then jealousy erupts and the husband and Russian seem to be in love, and the wife doesn't love the husband, but does love the Russian, who doesn't love her back, even though she corrupted her into being a lesbian in the first place. Concluded with a horrible ending, by any means, disrespectful and in general just inappropriate. On the upside the view is beautiful throughout the film.
sappho? no
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.
A strange lyrical film...
A strange lyrical film, much like the ancient poetess's Sappho's own poetry. It has no violence, no car chases, no gunfights, and yet it manages to be enthralling and unpredictable. I won't tell the story, except that it's about a boy and a girl who wants to be a boy and a girl, and it all gets complicated. Here in Ukraine it was a big commercial success - the biggest in the history of our film industry - and also there was a very big reaction against this movie from the church and anti-gays. It seems there are two reactions to this film, either you love it, or you hate it. You can see that from the reactions here too. The acting lets the movie down a little bit, but only a little.
An interesting journey into the realm of intimacy
An American couple goes to Greece for their honeymoon, and soon after befriends a smart and beautiful Russian girl, who feels lonely on the island while her father does important archaeological work. You can probably guess where the movie plot is going, but yet it is full of surprises and unexpected psychological twists and turns. Without giving any spoilers away, I would say that the plot would keep you on the edge of your seat up until the very last scene (which I found shocking and somewhat regrettable). I especially liked the dialogs, full of eloquent allusions - they were quite thoughtful and sophisticated. And last, but not least - you get to see beautiful panoramic views of mesmerizing nature, sea, and shores as well as detailed scenes of town's life with its own cultural treasures and unique customs. And lots of tits and ass as well :)
Terrible.
Horrible film. I would not recommend this to anyone. While a film is being developed its creators should be asking themselves "So what? Who cares?" and they should be able to answer that question in regards to their movie. At the end of this I felt myself asking "So what? Who cares?" Which is incredibly bad. This film suffers from terrible acting, directing and writing, and its seemingly only redeeming qualities are it locations and occasionally good cinematography. Honestly, do not bother with this film. It's a glorified soft core porn, and the porn isn't even very good.
