Review

A wry, buoyant affirmation of eternal youth. --John Anderson, The Washington Post


Product Description

BASED ON SHORT STORIES BY NOBEL PRIZE WINNER ISAAC BASHEVIS SINGER

THE STORY OF A MAN WHOSE IMAGINATION TOOK CONTROL...

Based on three short stories by Isaac Bashevis Singer (Yentl), Love Comes Lately braids fiction, fantasy, and autobiography into a bittersweet comedy-drama pitting the self-renewing power of male ego and libido against the inevitable physical decline of age. Though anchored in a long-time relationship with Reisel (Cheers and Taxi s Rhea Perlman), octogenarian author Max Kohn (Otto Tausig) uses his frequent book tours as opportunities to let erotic imagination take flight. There are fantasy flings with a needy widow (Caroline Aaron) and a Cuban housekeeper (Elizabeth Pena Lone Star), which then give way to a real-life intimate encounter with a former student (Barbara Hershey Hoosiers). Finally, a fondly recalled but painful interlude with a free spirited woman (Tovah Feldsuh Kissing Jessica Stein) challenges Max s peace of mind even as it feeds his work. In Love Comes Lately, writer-director Jan Schütte (has gone above and
beyond the call of dutiful adaptation - Andrew Sarris, The New York Observer), using (excellent visual correlatives for the blurring of the line between Max and his writing - Variety), to create an (atmospheric, exhilaratingly ambitious chamber piece - Village Voice) and (a sympathetic portrait of late life lust and romance - Time Out).

4.0 out of 5 stars Isaac Bashevis Singer Adaptation, February 1, 2009
By The Movie Man "tenebre89" (Maywood, New Jersey USA) - See all my reviews
  
"Love Comes Lately" is based on three short stories by Isaac Bashevis Singer that combine fiction, fantasy, and autobiography into a comedy/drama of the conflict between the male ego and the inevitable physical decline of age. Though in a longtime relationship with Reisel (Rhea Perlman), octogenarian author Max Kohn (Otto Tausig) uses his frequent book tours as opportunities to let erotic imagination take flight. But his fantasy flings with a needy widow (Caroline Aaron) and a Cuban housekeeper (Elizabeth Pena) give way to a real-life intimate encounter with a former student (Barbara Hershey). Finally, a fondly recalled but painful interlude with a free-spirited woman (Tovah Feldsuh) challenges Max's peace of mind even as it inspires him.
Uniformly first-class performances give life to the characters here. Writer/director Jan Schutte portrays Singer alter-ego Max Kohn as a guy who, even at his advanced age, has little difficulty attracting women. What may seem at first a dirty old man on the prowl evolves into a fully fleshed-out character study of a writer who creates as long as he is inspired, and is inspired as long as he creates.

1.0 out of 5 stars I wanted to love it but - no way, June 14, 2009
By J. Glueck (Wien, Österreich) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I've been trying to watch this movie for a couple of month now but I have not succeeded yet. Once in a while, when I have recovered from the previous try, I watch like 10, 15 minutes but then again I get so bored and annoyed that I have to turn the player off. I seems to be a kind of road movie where reality blends with dreams and daydreams. The pace is so slow, the direction is so poor and the dialogues are so bad! But the most annoying ingredient is the music. The score is so incredibly ill-matched with the movie, I have never seen anything like it. Where you would expect a kind of light-hearted, somewhat animated music, there are those depressing layers of sad strings that would better fit a psychological thriller or a documentary on sand in the desert.
I like the main actor a lot and the trailer of "Love Comes Lately" was modestly funny and witty but the actual movie, unfortunately, is very odd.
