| Urban CinefileLouise KellerA sensitive and subtle film about love, lust and emotional scars, the title is perhaps misleading. The film explores the quandary that two lovers face when sexual inadequacy causes a void in their relationship |
| User ReviewJoyce HOne of the best films about PTSD of r Soldiers & how it effects all the people around them!! I loved this film when I saw it in the 1980's I am same age as Ms.Kinski She was so wonderful in this Film !! A Beautiful Portrait of a wife but pushed so far as to have an affair & get pregnant to get her one true love back Ivan Everyone should see this especially now with USA being at war since 2002 This film is Not for children Very Sexual in Nature I give it 5 stars I own the DVD |
| User ReviewMEC rIt's been 23 year since I've seen this work by Andrei Kolchalovski. Let me tell you: each one of the characters is simply great, professional, simple, real. I love the Mitchum's role, the "descaro" of Carradine and the Savage's passion. I think that Sanna's point would be true (quite erotic picture for sure). But it's also deep... please do not forget....! (Sanna: The Stranger is David Carradine) |
| User ReviewSanna ACan anyone tell me whether this is the film where the female protagonist is being caressed by a stranger on a crowded ferry? That is one of the most erotic film scenes I've seen. Nastassja Kinski is very sensual. |
| User Reviewkamyar mDoes sublime love lead to passivity and impotency? In a great manifestation, Konchalovsky observes war, abuse and impotency! |
| User ReviewGabriel KBeau film que Maria's Lovers même si dans le genre je lui prà (C)fère Two Lovers de James Gray. Pas mal de choses pour me plaire tout d'abord, il y a cette superbe photographie et une mise en scène que l'on sent rà (C)ellement maitrisà (C)e de bout en bout. Certains plans à (C)tant magnifiques, notamment ceux de la chaise dans le champ. Ajoutez à cela un casting magnifique avec John Savage, Robert Mitchum, Nastassja Kinski et Keith Carradine, un très joli monde, assurant encore un max. Les apparitions de Mitchum à l'à (C)cran restent encore extraordinaires. Point de vue scà (C)nario, on assiste surtout à la reconstruction psychologique d'Ivan, qui malgrà (C) son retour de la guerre ne l'a pas encore quittà (C) rà (C)ellement. La sà (C)quence de fin, en noir et blanc, est très forte. Il reste quand même que je me suis ennuyà (C) vers le milieu du film, un sentiment qu'on tournait en rond dans l'histoire, certes le personnage est perdu, mais le rà (C)cit stagnait quelque peu pour moi, ce qui constitue le seul bà (C)mol ressenti. |
| User ReviewHéctor VDecent WWII drama filmed in Brownsville, PA (my hometown growing up). |
| User ReviewLee MResembles something like a finely-made house whose interior furbishings somehow fail to turn the house into a home. |
| User ReviewPeter MThe way this is packaged it looks like a â??Bâ?? grade movie playing on its sexy content. Although Natassja is beautiful, the film relies on subtle play of some strong characters and the disturbed nature of the main character who has returned, psychologically damaged from his WW11 experiences. Natassja is not acting in her first language and I think this is also the case for some of the other actors, this adds another dimension; a plus for me but some viewers definitely see this as a flaw. This has something of that Hollywood formula that answers too much and supplies every answer, but it is appealing and draws some beautiful characters and it is ultimately rewarding. |
