This magnificently photographed film is a poetic ode to the beginning of adulthood and the loss of innocence.

 Rating:  - Retsina Makes her clothes fall offThe appeal of this film is 12-year-old Kleopatra Rota's inability to keep her body covered with the wisp of a garment provided by the costume department. However the film as a whole has a haunting beauty and the feeling of a bleak fairy tale. it begs to be read allegorically. You have men in the wilderness with their animals, women behind the wall of a village. A mature woman longs for the freedom, sexual and otherwise, the shepherds enjoy and struggles with her desire personified by a mature ...

But the most fascinating aspect of this film--- which I believe indeviduals who give this film a bad review forget--- is that the film is based on an ancient Greek myth, and interpreted by modern Greeks. That is why I have given this film 5 stars; because from the music to the actors, the whole production is authentically Greek. And after all, that is the point of viewing foreign films! The erotic aspect... well, any boy who has gone through puberty should be able to ...

I know it is an old movie and Greeks had a great pride in their conquests but for this movie, it's better with the Greeks left out of it and don't bother buying this movie. I would rate it as less than one star. Rating: - Feminists and Animal Lovers, Beware!This movie, I gathered, is a re-creation of some Greek myth (I would imagine a modern-day Venus and Apollo) and is typical of what transpires in a male domineering world: preying on women and cruelty to animals. This film is not for feminists and animal lovers, nor for those who are buffs for European films with good quality. (I would only recommend it to feminists if they, along with me, wish to view this film just so that they can give it an awful rating; the more of those, the better). Read More Rating:  - an enigmatic, disturbing filmThis film is a mixture of realism and myth. There are hints of Daphnis and Chloe, but this is not their story at all. A naive and good young boy (played by a blonde boy of about eleven) travels with a group of sheepherders. At one of their stops, he wanders off and finds a mysterious young girl of about 13 or 14. He falls in love with her, but she plays hard to get and sets tasks for him to do in order to win her. At one point, she teases him wearing a loose garment off one shoulder. ... Read More |
