2.0 out of 5 stars Rebel without a cause, November 3, 2000

By 

Rodrigo Medina (Rio de Janeiro, Rio de Janeiro Brazil) - See all my reviews

This review is from: May Morning (DVD)

"May Morning" centers on the conflict surrounding an italian student, Valerio,(Alessio Orano) who cannot fit into undergraduate life at Oxford University by refusing to conform with college tradition and code of behavior. With his unconventional attitude, Valerio is destined to produce unexpected and sometimes tragic results.

This is surely a cult movie for those who like the 70's, especially because of the good soundtrack, composed by The Tremeloes. The casting is fine, but I belive the plot could be better than it is. When I first saw the DVD case, I did not know what to expect, mainly because I never read a critic about this movie. I can assure you this film is not recommended for those who dislike violent films.

In my opinion, the DVD version lacks some technical details. The british accent is very strong and the movie is dubbed most part of the time, which makes it hard to fully understand what the cast is saying.

1.0 out of 5 stars TYPICAL EARLY 70S COLLEGE MOVIE, July 20, 2010

This review is from: May Morning (DVD)

It takes place in a stuffy British college, with a male Italian student (who looks very pretty) having to put up with racism. Jane Birkin gets semi-naked for maybe 15 seconds, and raped later (She's the only familar face in the cast?).

The "May" in the title, for those unfamilar with late 60s/early 70s college junk (like RPM, THE STRAWBERRY STATEMENT, and IF) refers to May Day, the communist/radical labor day, like when the spanish speaking illegal aliens marched in the USA on May Day in 2006.

A funny, upbeat, ANIMAL HOUSE this movie ain't. It's a very outdated message movie snoozefest.
