Romantic powerful war tragedy

Rating: 10/10 (5 December 2001)

Romance combined with the horrors of war, this film keeps you interested, whilst offering plenty of suspense, some laughs, and some tears. A good story line with strong characters. This film was thoroughly enjoyable and would suit a wide range of audiences. The language, however, should have been in Greek with English sub-titles since it was filmed in the beautiful island of Kefalonia, and all the villages on the island were partly filmed, there should have been a lot more emphasis on the hardships that the locals had to endeavour. The film did not portray this, but used a softly softly approach to hide the evils and the real tragedies that did happen during those times. All in all the total film did have interest as well as intrigue and stimulation. I would recommend it to viewers who would be interested to know about the history of this lovely Greek island.
