5.0 out of 5 stars Slow But Interesting Morality Tale, July 23, 2005

This review is from: The Game is Over (DVD)

I couldn't get into this movie at first. It is the kind of film you must watch with no distractions to catch the subleties and nuances that are its strength. Otherwise, it feels very slow moving, verging on dull. But if you stick with it, you acclimate to the pace and this tale of adultery, betrayal and revenge manages a nice balance of stylization and realism. It manages to ask a very basic question about the universal dillemma: monogamy in marriage and it's pitfalls. Or strengths, depending on how you interpret its message.

Like all good European films, "Game" leaves the message in the viewer's imgination and doesn't polarize its characters into good guys, bad guys, good deeds and evil ones. Ultimately everyone in this film --as in life-- has a private agenda that can be viewed two ways.

1.0 out of 5 stars ONE LOUSY PRINT, January 27, 2011

This review is from: The Game is Over (DVD)

It's a shame that this DVD of one of Jane Fonda's sexiest films has been struck from a badly deteriorated master. The print is grainy and distorted, lacking clarity in focus. Also, compare this print to the earlier VHS version and you will discover that there are key shots missing from this French language version.If this film can't be restored to the rich textures I recall from the original, then consider THE GAME IS OVER one lost film. The product available for purchase here is completely worthless, making its high price of $39.00 ludicrous. It ought to be yanked off the market.

This review is from: Game Is Over [VHS] (VHS Tape)

I had forgotten how lame this Roger Vadim effort was. It's only redeeming value in its original form (for those of us who enjoyed it) was a generous amount of young Jane Fonda nudity. Unfortunately, this heavily edited version retains little of that, and not much else worthwhile.
