Drowning in honey

Rating: 3/10 (9 October 2004)

This movie goes back and forth between two connected stories, happening at different times. One is happening nowadays and isn't particularly good, but at least has some originality and resists the worst temptations (although it yields to several of them). The other story (which takes most of the movie) is really terrible: after the first 10 minutes, I already had the impression I knew where the movie was going, but hoped I was wrong ("They can't be doing just this, this story is as old as Adam and Eve"). Unfortunately, my hopes were vain.
The acting and the score are nothing to write home about, the photography is nice (you have some really pretty pictures) but it is used to further sugar-coat a story which drowns you in honey from the first to the last shot.
All in all, I regret going to see this movie.
