Another romance during World War II

Rating: 6/10 (11 November 2002)

Although it's not a wonderful movie, it surprises us a little due to it's setting. The story happens during World War II but in Greece, different from many others films of this genre. The main fact of it is love triangle, not bombs and shots (although you'll see them in the last minutes).
In a small Greek island, Pelagia (Penélope Cruz) loves Mandras(Christian Bale) and they are engaged and hope to have a happy life ahead. However their plans are postponed when he goes to war against Italy in Albania. Their victory is suffocated by the Germans who attack and take the island and give its control to the Italians. While Mandras is far in the battlefields, Pelagia falls in love with Italian Captain Corelli, putting her engagement in risk. The rest is STORY...
My Rate 7/10
