1.0 out of 5 stars Buyers: A true ripoff, August 23, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: LOVERS - A True Story [VHS] (VHS Tape)

BUYERS BEWARE: Do not, repeat, do not spend your money on this R rated version of the movie, or you'll miss the whole point. It's like eating a cone without ice cream. Try the unrated version, also on sale in Amazon.

5.0 out of 5 stars don't miss this one !, February 22, 2001

This review is from: LOVERS - A True Story [VHS] (VHS Tape)

Based on a true story set in Spain during the mid 50's, This is one of the very best films I've ever seen. It has everything: It's magnificently directed by Vicente Aranda, has a fabulous score (Jose Nieto) and cinematography (Jose Luis Alcaine), suspense, drama, obsession, a tasty bit of eroticism, a gorgeous cast (Victoria Abril & Jorge Sanz), great acting, and best of all, it's totally unpredictable. There's no way of guessing where it's leading you so I won't drop any clues.

Let this stupendous work of art surprise you. Film just doesn't get much better than this.

This review is from: Amantes (Lovers) (DVD)

BUYERS BEWARE as a previous review stated. This IS NOT the original version of this movie. Large sections have been removed. And when viewing, you can be confounded as to "what just happened?" or left wondering WHY(?). Anyway, the many things that made the original amazing have been deleted from this versison. BEST TO JUST AVOID.
