5.0 out of 5 stars A Real Sleeper, October 11, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: A Man in Love [VHS] (VHS Tape)

This is one of my all time favorite films.

Peter Coyote is excellent as the free-spririted, intense actor who seems incapable of handling his everyday affairs. Greta Scacchi has never been more beautiful. Peter Riegert also shines as Peter Coyotes' reality-grounding partner.

Coyote's character uses acting to escape his unfulfilling marriage to his unaccepting wife (played by Jamie Lee Curtis).

In a display of art imitating life, the film uses techniques similiar to the film "The Stuntman" to blend reality with fantasy.

3.0 out of 5 stars Tries to be what it's not, November 12, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: A Man in Love [VHS] (VHS Tape)

I rented this movie while on my Greta Scacchi binge and it fared poorly compared to others like The Coca-Cola Kid and White Mischief (released the same year).
Peter Coyote tries to be dark and brooding as an American actor shooting a docu-drama on location in Italy. Greta Scacchi is the young beauty who lands the leading lady role. Coyote is smitten by her and they continue their on-screen passion away from the cameras.
Jamie Lee Curtis is miscast as Coyote's wife who flies in to check up on him. She figures out he is having an affair but is helpless to do anything about it. Obviously, heartache ensues.
I kept on getting the feeling while watching this movie that it was trying really hard to be European art house, but coming off flat. Perhaps if it was in another language...?
I did enjoy seeing the still beautiful Claudia Cardinale as Scacchi's mother.
