Movie Reviews of The Lover
Movie Review: Exquisitely Erotic...A Visual FEAST!
Summary: 5 Stars
If you're all about the blockbusters and have no patience for subtlety, or watching a truly engaging, sensual story unfold...then "The Lover" is not for you. If, however, the idea of being led to a hypnotic state of visual euphoria, where every gesture, every touch, is so loaded with deep desire and eroticism that when it finally reaches it's peak, it's the very definition of passion and even carnality...if you've ever felt a forbidden or impossible longing, ever been drunk with the ecstacy of indulging your passion, or ever been wounded by the slight-of-hand of love, even without knowing it at first...this movie is a masterpiece, and you will absolutely LOVE it!Movie Review: Powerful and Haunting
Summary: 5 Stars
Mesmerizing, seductive, poetic, romantic and exotic. This movie is as erotic as 91/2 Weeks (rated R), the sex scenes have to be on there for the story. The intimate scenes make the ending so much more powerful--and haunting.
Update:
I'm learning to speak French so it's great that this movie has a choice of being watched in the French language (the narrator's voice is perfectly clear, and perfectly suited to the part) and I can also have the French subtitles at the same time.
Sexy, haunting love story... I'm reading the book :) in English and look forward to reading it in French.
Movie Review: Beautiful and Touching...
Summary: 5 Stars
This is hauntingly beautiful film set in the late 1920's in French Indochina. It is based on two novels by the French author, Marguerite Duras (1914-1996), and is loosely autobiographical. I have read both "The Lover" as well as "The North Chinese Lover"-- two slightly different versions of the same story. The film follows the novel, "The Lover" very closely, and I was pleasantly surprised. I have yet to ejoy a film version of a novel, but I did enjoy this interpretation. The acting is excellent, and the subject matter is definitely adult in nature. Explicit sex scenes but done very beautifully.
Movie Review: THE MOST AMAZING EXPERIENCE I HAVE EVER HAD
Summary: 5 Stars
This movie is a visally stunning masterpiece. I adore it to death. This is based on the two autobiographies by Maurgurite Duras "The Lover" which I read was THE BEST BOOK I'VE EVER READ and "The North China Lover" which I am reading and loving. this film is touching and amazingly sizzling. This is the true and heartwarming story of a tumultous affair between an adolescent french girl and an older chinese man. This mesmerizing masterpiece which was masterfully filmed and acted by Jane March as the french girl and Tony Leung as the chinese man. Buy this film right now and have a masterful experince.Movie Review: An exotic, and heart-breaking love story
Summary: 5 Stars
I cannot believe that the Editorial Reviews refers this beautiful movie as "soft porn". I rarely cry over movies, but this one makes my heart broken. The feeling reflected by the movie is exactly what has been descripted in a famous Chinese poem - the kind of love that you can remember all the time afterwards and wish you could travel back through the time to make the right choice, but just because the love was so true and so strong that you were confused and frightened at the time you were with your lover (forgiven me for the translation).
