Great adult love story and wonderful cinematography.

Rating: 10/10 (17 August 2001)

The movie is set on a beautiful Greek Island. It is an adult love story taking place during WWII.
I found the beautiful island to be a joy to look at and the cinematography to be stunning. It looked like it was filmed in 3D with richness and depth.
The story is touching with good acting all around. I do think that the movie could have been expanded to develop the story more fully.

The Greek people are warm and loving, the Italian soldiers are fun- loving and laid back and the Germans were as you'd expect them to be except for the officer who accepts the surrender of the town's mayor who would rather surrender to the German's dog than to an Italian.
This is not a story for younger moviegoers but I believe that adults will enjoy it very much.
