Sensuality Sets it Apart

Rating: 10/10 (2 April 2006)

In our present Hollywood time of overwhelming sexualized imagery I really loved the relationship in this movie. The sensual images of the dancing a formal distance apart but arms entwined, the gentle hand on the back and the intimate exchange of breath. No humping butts and naked boobies and yet more erotic. Along these same lines, Hugo Weaving, who played V has an incredible voice and it gave a lot of power to a faceless character which fed into the eroticism.
I would have liked to have known more about V - that part of the story felt unsatisfying but all in all, this was a very good Swashbuckling Zorro Meets Phantom of the Opera Meets A Few Other Things But With A More Sensual Love Story film.
P.S. I saw the film again and I am just entranced by Hugo Weaving's powerful voice for V.
