A big disappointment. This is the only movie in the last 25 years from which I had to walk away early.
The self indulgent slow motion shots on perfect faces and bodies give all the wrong and outdated messages about what real beauty is all about. I also read somewhere that the movie was supposed to highlight the beauty of Naples. I have been to Naples and yes, it is a wonderful place to visit and certainly deserves a much better movie to depict its true magnificence. Even the presence of the great Gary Oldman and his unique delivery cannot hide the poor and corny dialogue. Italian cinema is much greater than this.
