Product Description:
IN A TIME TORN APART BY HATRED & VIOLENCE, TWO LIFELONG LOVERSARE FORCED TO CHOOSE BETWEEN PASSION & PERSONAL CONVICTIONS,THEIR FATE INTERTWINED WITH THE PAINFUL HISTORY OF A WORLD AT WAR.
Amazon.com:
If movies were solely about the cheap pleasure of watching gorgeous people make grand gestures in epic circumstances--because, sure, sometimes movies are--director/screenwriter John Duigan's goopy, obvious, overwrought contemplation of how global unrest really messes with your love life would be Oscar-worthy. Charlize Theron, Stuart Townsend, and Penelope Cruz are headstrong 1930s playthings who each discover that they need to pull their attractive heads out of their inviting behinds if they're going to play a part in stopping the spread of European fascism. Charlize is socialite Gilda, who ensnares both brooding, Cambridge-educated Irishman Townsend and Spanish rebel Cruz (who is particularly ill-defined) in a love triangle while seemingly caring not a whit for the imminent goosesteps of the Nazis. Charlize wears a lot of fabulous outfits, and she and real-life paramour Townsend do impetuous things like sport fedoras while romping in a milky-white bathtub; Cruz, meanwhile, performs a passionate impromptu striptease. Hey, there are worse ways to be entertained. Unfortunately, you don't really give a damn about any of them, and you can predict what's going to happen to all of them well before it actually does. It's an efficient, glamorous, hokey, ultimately downbeat time-killer for anyone willing to spend two hours trying to decide which of the doe-eyed trio you'd save from destruction first. --Steve Wiecking

The Amazon review of this is horrible. Obviously it was assigned to the wrong person, perhaps the one that writes reviews of do-it-yourself manuals. It is a wonderful movie about the conflicting impulses of romantic people. Do you live for love alone, or do you embrace activism, hoping to do good for all? Is it truly better to ruin your own life to possibly make no difference in a social struggle, or would it be better to spend all your time pursuing a grand passion, should you be lucky enough to ...

Wow, quite the mixed reviews here. Albeit a bit long, my wife and I loved this film. Every emotion adeptly covered in one movie.
Strongly recommended.

I thought this movie was okay, but nothing to get too worked up about. It's a sad tale, one that only gets sadder as the time passes by. Stuart is wonderful - I'm glad a friend recommended this to me - but most of the love scenes never really went anywhere, I didn't think. However, that said, it is worth it to see this movie at least once for the bathtub scene with Stuart & Charlize. Those hats make it very sexy, and her necktie. And, the scene near the end where Stuart pounces on her - that ... Read More

One has to wonder how a film so bad can be made with so many fine things about it. I see from other reviews that the really horrible actor Stewart Townsend is Charlize Theron's boyfriend. She won an Academy Award so she got to demand his inclusion probably. He cannot act and he utterly cannot imagine what it would be like to be the man he plays in this movie. He has sex with the Charleezz character often. That he knows how to do. And Charlize probably ignored direction because her acting is ... Read More

I really enjoyed the movie's writing and overall story. However while some of the filming locations are stunning and unique, some sets seemed just a bit too clean and almost back Hollywood lot-ish. But I am just knit picking, it's a sad, romantic, pretty movie, that any romantic would enjoy.
