2 out of 5 stars ARTISTIC PORN?.......2007-02-12

Well thats what I thought I was buying anyway. Some French sub-titled films really are worth watching. Not this one! Very poor scripting, cheesy story line and the acting is akin to the Dawn & French version of Crossroads. Check out the length of the male member in the wood scene - is that a real one?!
Frankly my overall impression was that this was an upmarket version of the usual, 'below the table' cheap porn churned out from east europe, all in the name of deep and meaningful Art! No, not this time.

5 out of 5 stars A very sexy film.......2006-11-15

The isn't any plot, but who cares. The leading lady has a fantastic figure which, thanks to Mr Brass, dominates the whole film.

Beautifully filmed, awash with eorticism. Buy straight away.

Enjoy.

5 out of 5 stars Good, highly erotic film from Tinto........2006-04-17

Tinto Brass comes up with the goods yet again in this highly erotic drama about an ignored wife Marta who seeks sexual satisfaction elsewhere via alternative liaisons. She keeps a diary about the downturn in her relationship with husband Dario. The story line is much in keeping with previous outings: bored, ignored housewife Marta; husband Dario who keeps business to the forefront of his life. Marta seeks alternate liaisons with Leon, often in a risque fashion; she is influenced by her peers; husband finds and reads diary and gets angry; realises his errors and puts thing right at the end. All pretty standard stuff, but done at a good pace.

The part of Marta is played very sexually, the character rarely wearing panties during her dangerous liaisons. She wears split, bottom-revealing nightwear (a Tinto trademark), often so short as to be of no real use at all, and very open, revealing daywear.

Some of the sexual scenes are bordering almost on hard-core, either that or some very deceptively clever camera angles are used, but I would suggest the former in fact. Oral sex, albeit on a fake penis is visible as performed by Marta on Leon, and double penetration is suggested, but not seen. Several beaver shots of Marta are continuously and uninhibitedly shown throughout the film, as indeed the sex of the male characters as well and at the very end we do get to see actual penetration, either that or a very good facsimile of it.

All in all, this is by far the most erotic Tinto Brass film I have seen (except the uncut version of Caligula), and one which Tinto fans will surely wallow in. Highly erotic, but done with real sexual class and beautifully shot.

5 out of 5 stars I was gripped.......2007-01-04

In 1959 a French actress, in Hiroshima for an anti-war film, has what she thinks will be a one-night stand with a Japanese man but it leads her into revisiting and re-evaluating the loss she feels from her very first relationship - with a German soldier of the occupying forces in France.

In black and white with an almost noir-ish look, you will love this if development of character interests you. If you want an obvious storyline, you will be disappointed. I was gripped.

3 out of 5 stars Documentary or movie?.......2006-09-08

Slow, at the beginning, the plot is often lost for a documentary on Hiroshima slaughter. Then when you would like to know more about it, almost seeing it, with a sense of sadism and cynic, the powerful images completely disappear. Did it happen or not? Where they true or false shots?
When the story finally emerges, the movie ends leaving with a feeling of incompletion.
Would not watch twice.

5 out of 5 stars Hard to watch.......2006-08-11

When I was at university, we were required to watch this film three times. The first time, I nearly fainted and had to leave. The second time, I had to leave early. I did not even attempt to watch it a third time. It was incredibly powerful. The images of Hiroshima were horrific.

    Amazon.co.uk Review

    An extraordinary and deeply moving film that retains much of its power since its original release in 1959, Alain Resnais's Hiroshima, Mon Amour is the story of a French woman (Emmanuelle Riva) and a Japanese man (Eiji Okada) who become lovers in the city of Hiroshima, where the US dropped a nuclear bomb to end World War Two in the Pacific. Written by Marguerite Duras and juggled, as if by wandering thoughts, in chronology and setting by Resnais, the film reveals the miserable and mortifying experiences of each character during the war and suggests the obvious healing properties of their relationship in the present. An emotional allusion or two can certainly be made with the more recent The English Patient, but nothing can quite prepare one for Resnais's extreme yet intuitively accessible experiments in fusing the past, present and future into great sweeps of subjectively experienced memory. Yet audiences have never had trouble relating to this bold milestone of the French New Wave, largely because at its heart is a genuinely affecting, soulful love story. --Tom Keogh, Amazon.com
