good photography and score, but the rest...

Rating: Null/10 (9 June 2000)

This movie is really terribly good photographed... the colors are breathtaking. The score is also really very good, I bought the soundtrack album. But the rest.... well. Brad Pitt looks quite good with that long blond hair, but I don't really like him, and altough the story has some overdone cheesy melodramatic elements that can annoy you (like the works of the writer Rosamunde Pilcher), it has sometimes (especially at the end) a kind of monumental character, I mean as if the characters are really legends, that is quite nice. The performances are quite good, but for me this is still a movie for 16 years old girls who want to see Brad Pitt and cry.
