Reading the many reviews, I was expecting a luscious, sensuous film. I certainly didn't feel any of this. I found Tilda to be as icy cold when she's in love as before, and I didn't see the point of the whole movie. Too many useless close-up, the music is really too overwhelming at the end (we understand this is a dramatic moment, thank you!) and I left the movie theater quite disappointed. However, I enjoyed seeing the Mediterranean beautiful landscape, But for me this movie is much fuss over very little. It certainly didn't have the subtelty I generally enjoy in European films.
